Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.

Answer:
- Josh: 32 mph, 64 mi
- Greg: 64 mph, 320 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Josh's rate of travel in miles per hour. After 2 hours, his distance is ...
distance = speed · time
distance = x · 2 = 2x
Then 2x is Greg's rate of travel After 5 hours, his distance is ...
distance = speed · time
distance = (2x) · 5 = 10x
The distance they are apart is ...
10x -2x = 256
8x = 256
x = 32
__
Josh's rate: 32 miles per hour; Josh's distance = (2 h)(32 mi/h) = 64 miles.
Greg's rate: (32 mi/h)·2 = 64 mi/h; Greg's distance = (5 h)(64 mi/h) = 320 miles.
<em>__</em>
<em>Check</em>: 320 miles - 64 miles = 256 miles . . . . correct separation
