I think the correct answer here would be 1.8 units because this is a proportional triangle. Since we know the larger height is 5, and the smaller height is 1, we know that if we divide 9 by 5 (to create the same proportion) we will find that x=1.8.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y=2x-6 that passes through the point (1,5). If possible, write the equation in sl

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$y=-0.5x+4.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of $y=2x-6$ is:

The negative reciprocal of that slope is:

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

So the perpendicular line will have a slope of $-1/2$ :

$y - y_1 = (-\frac{1}{2} )(x - x_1)$

And now put in the point $(1,5)$ :

$y-5=(-\frac{1}{2})(x-1)$

And that answer is OK, but let's also put it in $y=mx+b$ form:

$y-5=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$y=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{11}{2}$

$y=-0.5x+4.5$

After sailing 12 mi, a sailor changed direction and increased the boat's speed by 4 mph. an additional 18 mi was sailed at the i

inessss [21]

Let the speed for the first 12 mi be x mi/h, the speed for 18 mi was (x+4) mi/h
thus given that
time=distance/speed
the average time will be:
3=(12+18)/(x+x+4)
3=30/(2x+4)
solving for x we get
3(2x+4)=30
6x+6=30
6x=24
x=4 mi/hr
Answer: 12 mi/hr
