The origin is at the point (0,0). Therefore, the y-intercept will be 0. For two points to be perpendicular, the slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other. .5 can be seen as 1/2, so the reciprocal is 2, and it is positive, making that 2 negative. Your equation would be y = -2x.
Answer:
let me know if you need an explanation.
Answer:
9 1/3 feet (I think)
Step-by-step explanation:
I imagined it as a grid.
Your friend moves to point (16,12)
You move to point (-12,9)
Then you set up your equation and solve.
9 1/3
Hope this helps :)
So we know that point-slope form is as follows:
The points (
and 
correspond to the point given and m is representing the slope. So we plug in what the question gives us:
<------ Point-slope form
Now we can take this form and simplify to give us the slop-intercept form:
<----- Slope-intercept form
1st Avenue would be more difficult because it’s rise and run is for every one foot forward it is 3 feet up. Meanwhile avenue 16th would start at (3,1) and the rise and run would be for every 3 feet it would go up 1 foot.
