For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1, in this case our reference line has a slope of -3 so:
-3m=-1 divide both sides by -3
m=-1/-3
m=1/3
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/3

Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
Hello there! I can help you! So what we are looking for is the value of x. To find the value of x, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:
4x + 28 = 180
This is because the sum of the angles for a triangle is 180°. We combine the like terms to get 4x and subtract 6 from 34 to get 28. First off, let's subtract 28 from both sides. 28 - 28 cancel out. 180 - 28 is 152. That simplifies into 4x = 152. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the x. 4x/4 cancels out. 152/4 is 38. There's a possible value of x. Let's plug the value in and see if it works. 38 * 2 is 76. 76 - 6 is 70. 38 + 34 is 72. 70 + 72 is 142 and 142 + 38 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 38. Here are the answers for the angle measurements:
(x + 34) = 72°
(2x - 6) = 70°
x° = 38°
