let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmmm what is the slope of line S anyway?

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-7}{6-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{4}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{3}}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3 and runs through (5,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-5)\implies y-2=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{10}{3}+2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{4}{3}

Jacob strode up 24 steps in 12 seconds to reach his apartment on the second floor. How many steps did he climb in 9.5 seconds?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

He climbed 19 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let steps climbed in 9.5 seconds = z

If           24 steps = 12 seconds

then:       z            = 9.5 seconds

Using criss cross method

24  x 9.5 = 12 x z

228 = 12 z

z = 228/12

z = 19 steps

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

c)A cylinder with a volume of  π(w³ +2w² )in³

 where w represents the width of the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylinder with a volume of  π(w³ +2w² )in³

 where w represents the width of the cylinder.

The  volume of a cylinder is given by  V=Bh or V=πr²h

where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.

V=πr²h-------equation1

V= π(w³ +2w² )--------- equation2

Comparing equation 1 and equation 2

πr²h=π(w³ +2w² )

r²h=(w³ +2w² )

r²h= w²(w +2 )

Taking w² common leaves w+2 which gives the height or length of the cylinder.

Therefore radius = width and height = length which gives the volume of the cylinder.
