Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
Make an inference about which fish increased its predicted average population from Year 1 to Year 2.
All three types of fish increased their predicted average population.
Trout increased its predicted average population.
Bass increased its predicted average population.
None of the fish increased their predicted average population.
Convert the milligrams into grams
1,000 milligrams = 1 gram
so 1.75 grams X 1 gram/1 gram = 1.75 X 1 = 1.75 grams
hope that helps :)
