Answer:

The slope would be 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx +b

m= slope

perpendicular lines have slopes that are multiplied in order to get -1

these are important

2x + y = 4

subtract 2x

y=-2x +4

your slope is -2

-2 * ? = -1

? = -1/-2

? = 1/2

Marcus is skiing. He is 869 1/10 get up the mountain. He descends to 450 7/10 feet. What is his change in elevation

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

418 4/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this we subtract 450 7/10 from 869 1/10.

We must borrow a '1' from 869 1/10: 868 11/10

Now subtract 450 7/10 from 868 11/10:

418 4/10 (CHANGE IN ELEVATION)

This reduces to 418 2/5.

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mirror is set away from the flagpole on the same scale set away from her.

The distance she stand's away from the mirror is 1/4 of the length of the distance between the mirror and the flag pole because she's 1/4 of the flagpole's size.

This means her size x4 is the size for the flag pole. This checks out because 12x4=48

So to find the height we must do 5x4

5x4=20

Julia can finish a 20-mile bike ride in 1.2 hours. Katie can finish the same bike ride in 1.6 hours. How much faster does Julia

Nimfa-mama [501]

We know that, $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Julia can finish a 20-mile bike ride in 1.2 hours.

The distance Julia travels is 20 miles and the time she takes is 1.2 hours.

So, Julia's speed = $\frac{20}{1.2}$ = 16.67 mph

Katie can finish the same bike ride in 1.6 hours.

The distance Katie travels is 20 miles and the time she takes is 1.6 hours.

So, Katie's speed = $\frac{20}{1.6}$ = 12.5 mph

Now, to find how much faster Julia rides than Katie we subtract Katie's speed from Julia's speed.

So, 16.67 mph - 12.5 mph = 4.17 mph = 4.2 mph (approximately)

Thus, Julia rides 4.2 mph faster than Katie.
