Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/4 and passes through (-6,-9)
1 answer:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
y = is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (- 6, - 9 ) with equation
x = - 6 → B

Answer:
about 2.81 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be useful to draw a diagram.
The lines pointing to due north from points B and P are parallel, so the angle BCP and the bearing of point C from P are the same, 30°. The angle BPC will be the difference of bearings of B and C at P, so is 47-30=17°. This is enough information to solve the triangle using the Law of Sines:
PB/sin(C) = CB/sin(P)
CB = PB·sin(P)/sin(C) = (1200 m)·sin(17°)/sin(30°) ≈ 701.7 m
The speed of the boat is then ...
x = distance/time = (0.7017 km)/(1/4 h) = 2.8068 km/h
