Nile and Bob both were traveling were 2 hours

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The formula for time is given by:</u></em>

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Given that,

<em><u>Niles’ sailboat traveled 16 miles at a speed of 8 mph</u></em>

Distance = 16 miles

Speed = 8 mph

Therefore, time taken is given as:

time = \frac{16}{8} = 2

Thus, Nile takes 2 hours to travel

<em><u>Bob’s motorboat traveled 26 miles at a speed of 13 mph</u></em>

Distance = 26 miles

Speed = 13 mph

Therefore, time taken is given as:

Time = \frac{26}{13} = 2

Thus, Bob takes 2 hours to travel

for what value of k, the line joining 3x-ky+7=0 is perpendicular to the line joining (4 ,3) and ( 5, -3).
Schach [20]

Answer:

  • k = 18

=========

<h2>Given</h2>

<h3>Line 1</h3>
  • 3x - ky + 7 = 0

<h3>Line 2</h3>
  • Passing through the points (4, 3) and (5, - 3)

<h2>To find</h2>

  • The value of k, if the lines are perpendicular

<h2>Solution</h2>

We know the perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, that is the product of their slopes is - 1.

Find the slope of line 1 by converting the equation into slope-intercept from standard form:

<u><em>Info:</em></u>

  • <em>standard form is ⇒ ax + by + c = 0, </em>
  • <em>slope - intercept form is ⇒ y = mx + b, where m is the slope</em>

  • 3x - ky + 7 = 0
  • ky = 3x + 7
  • y = (3/k)x + 7/k

Its slope is 3/k.

Find the slope of line 2, using the slope formula:

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-3 - 3)/(5 - 4) = - 6/1 = - 6

We have both the slopes now. Find their product:

  • (3/k)*(- 6) = - 1
  • - 18/k = - 1
  • k = 18

So when k is 18, the lines are perpendicular.
