Answer:

y= -1/2x-8 Please see the file for better detail!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the perpendicular line you have to find the opposite reciprocal, which means flip the number and give a negative because the original slope is positive. Please see the image for better detail. Use point slope, slope intercept forms to find your answer.

Answer:

The missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$y+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

As the value of y = -2 is given.

so substituting the value y = -2 in the equation to find the missing value

$\left(-2\right)+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

switch the sides

$-3\left(x-4\right)=\left(-2\right)+2$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=-2+2$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3$

$\frac{-3\left(x-4\right)}{-3}=\frac{0}{-3}$

$x-4=0$

$x=4$

Therefore, the missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

Determine which windsurfer is traveling faster. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING 5meters per second or 720 feet per minute.

alexdok [17]

The first windsurfer is travelling faster. Solution:
1 meter = 3.28084 feet
The first surfer travels at 5 meters/second so you have to multiply 3.28084 by 5 which equals 16.4042 ft/second
There are 60 seconds in a minute so you will have to multiple 16.4042 ft/second by 60 seconds which equals 984.252 ft/minute

984.252 ft/minute > 720 ft/minute
