Answer:

The answer to your question is     y = -7/2x -13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Point = (-3, 4)

Line   -2x + 7y = -3

Process

1.- Solve equation for y to find the slope of the perpendicular line

                  7y = 2x - 3

                    y = 2/7 x - 3/7

slope = 2/7

Slope of the perpendicular line = -7/2

2.- Find the equation of the new line

                   y - y1 = m(x - x1)

                   y - 4 = -7/2(x + 3)

                   y - 4 = -7/2x - 21/2

                   y = -7/2x - 21/2 + 4

                   y = -7/2x -21/2 + 8/2

3.- Result

                   y = -7/2x -13/2

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 4 h, and Car B traveled the dista
poizon [28]
The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5

They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)

Solve for x.

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5

Subtract 4.5x on both sides

-0.5x = -22.5

Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45

But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5

So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40

Your answer is 40

Gerald recorded the gains and losses for each play on the football field. Gains were marked with a + and losses with a –. Play 1
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Play 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\left\begin{array}{ccccc}{Play}&{1}&{2}&{3}&{4}&{Yards}&{+4}&{-6}&{-2}&{+3}\end{array}\right

Required [Missing from the question]:

Determine the play with the least change in yard?

To do this, we ignore the sign in front of each yard before we analyze.

So, we have:

Play 1 has a change of 4

Play 2 has 6

Play 3 has 2

Play 4 has 3

<em>From the above analysis, play has the least (which is 2)</em>

Which ratio is smaller 8 to 2 or 10 to 1
GalinKa [24]

Simplify the ratio 8 to 2 to be 4 to 1

Now compare 4 to 1 and 10 to 1

4 is smaller than 10 so the ratio 8 to 2 is smaller.
