Answer:
<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Change</u>
The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.
The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:
Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line perpendicular to the given line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line.
Rewrite the given equation in the format of y=mx+b, where mi is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0.
2x + 3y = 4
3y=-2x+4
y = -(2/3)X + (4/3)
The reference slope is -(2/3). The negative inverse is (3/2), which will be the slope of a perpendicular line. We can write the new line as:
y = (3/2)x + b
Any value of b will still result in a line that is perpendicular. But we want a value of b that will shift the line so that it intersects the point (-3,-5). Simply enter this point in the above equation and solve for b.
y = (3/2)x + b
-5 = (3/2)(-3) + b
-5 = -(9/2) + b
-5 = -4.5 + b
b = - 0.5
The equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4 and includes point (-3,-5) is
y = (3/2)x - 0.5
