Use the Pythagorean Theorem
6 feet and 14 feet are the "legs" and the ladder length is the hypotenuse.
hypotenuse^2 = 6^2 + 14^2
hypotenuse^2 = 36 + 196
hypotenuse^2 = 232
<span><span><span>hypotenuse = 15.2315462117 </span>
ladder length = 15 feet

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y-3x=-8 that passes through the point (3,2). Answer in slope-intercept form
Zielflug [23.3K]
Y - 3x = -8
y = 3x - 8...slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 3

tom rides the bus part of the way to school and then he walks the rest pf the way. he walks five minutes longer than he rides. t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom walks for 5 minutes longer than he rides. To figure out the answer, start by subtracting 5:

27 - 5 = 22

Now that you have done this, divide 22 by 2:

22/2 = 11

Now you know that he rode the bus for 11 minutes, and you can add five to the other 11 minutes to know how long he walked:

11 + 5 = 16.
