Answer:

3x + 2y = 31  

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equation for y to determine the slope of this line:

-3y = -2x = -18, so that y = (2/3)x + 6.

Therefore, a line perpendicular to the given line has the slope -3/2, which is the negative reciprocal of this 2/3.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and inserting the knowns (slope = m = -3/2, y = 5 and x = -7), we obtain:

5 = (3/2)(-7) + b, or (after multiplying all terms by 2):

10 = -21 + 2b, or 2b = 31, or b = 31/2.

Then the equation is y = (-3/2)x + 31/2.

Let's put this into standard form.  Multiply all terms by 2, obtaining:

2y = -3x + 31, or

3x + 2y = 31    This is the equation of the perpendicular line in question.

Juan's pit crew was able to get his car back onto the racetrack 0.4 seconds faster than Paul's crew. Paul's crew took 1.3 second
9966 [12]

Answer:

6.7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan= Paul-0.4

Paul=Terry+1.3

We can substitute Terry+1.3 for Paul since they are equal

juan=(Terry-0.4)+1.3

terry=5.8

juan=(5.8-0.4)+1.3

juan=6.7

Mama L [17]
788 ÷ 14 = 56 with a decimal. Since there cannot be a decimal of a person you know that each country has 56 people. Now you multiply 14 by 56 to get 784. Once you subtract that from 788 you'll get 4 so there are 4 guests from the United States

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of each box in the grid is 1 unit by 1 unit.

From the image, we can see that the size of the base of the square pyramid is 4 units by 4 units, hence:

Area of the base = 4 units * 4 units = 16 unit²

Also, as shown in the image, all the triangular face of the square pyramid are of the same size. the distance from the middle of the triangle base to the top of the vertex of the triangle is considered to be the height of the triangle. Hence, the height of each triangular face = 2 units
