Perpendicular means the slope is the opposite inverse
Lets re-organize the equation so its more friendly
4x-2y=9
-2y=-4x-9
y=2x+9/2
The slope of this is 2, so the opposite inverse would be -1/2
So far our new equation looks like y=-1/2x+b
To find B we will input the coordinates (4,6) for their respective x,y values
6=-1/2(4)+b
6=-2+b
b=8
y=-1/2x+8
The answer is B

A boat traveled 240 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 24 hours. What is the speed

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

rate boat = 15 mph

rate current = 5 mph

explanation:

d = r * t

t = d/r

240 / (r_boat + current) = 12 Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.

240 = 12(r_boat + current)

240/ (r_boat - current) = 24 Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current

240 = 24*(r_boat - current)

Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.

12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current) Divide by 12

r_boat + current = 2 (r_boat - current) Remove the brackets.

r_boat + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current add 2 currents to both sides

r_boat + 3currents = 2*r_boat Subtract r_boat both sides

3 currents = r_boat.

240 = 12*(r_boat + current. Divide by 12

20 = r_boat + current Put 3 currents in for r_boat

20 = 3currents + 1 current Combine

20 = 4 currents Divide by 4

5 = current

The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour

3 currents = r_boat

3*5 = rate_boat

15 = rate of the boat

Why are bars of the histogram all the same width?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The widths of the bars are equal to ensure that numbers aren't represented improperly. If a bar was wider than another that was the same height, it could be misinterpreted as being larger.

Which of the following systems of inequalities has point D as a solution? Two linear functions f of x equals 3 times x plus 4 an

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B) f(x) ≥ 3x + 4

g of x is less than or equal to negative one half times x minus 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above graph,

If point B is the solution of the system of inequalities, then point B must satisfies both inequalities

We can see from the graph that

Point B is located above (≥) the boundary line for f(x) and is also below (≤) the boundary line for g(x).
