A car traveled twice as fast on a dry road as it did making the return on a slippery road. the trip was 60 mi each way, and the
Mariulka [41]
If it was 60 miles round trip, each way was therefore 30 miles.
Let x represent the hours taken on the dry road.  Slippery road was then 2x.  2x + x = 3x.  35 / 3 = 11.66… = x.
So, on the dry road, the car took 11.66…  hours.
For the slippery one, 2 * 11.66… or 23.33…  hours.
Convert to mph, shall we?
Dry road:
30 miles / 11.66… hours = 2.57… mph.
Slippery road:
30 miles / 23.33… hours = 1.28… mph.
If that’s what you’re looking for — you never quite asked.

The shadow cast by a television tower is 171 ft 10 in. A pole that is stuck in the ground nearby has 2 ft sticking above the gro
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

the height is 54.99 ft or 659.84 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can write:

2 ft / 6 ft 3 in = x / 171 ft 10 in

Now what we must do first and pass everything to the same unit of measurement:

Knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches:

6 ft 3 in = 6 ft * 12 in / ft + 3 in = 72 + 3 = 75 in

171 ft 10 in = 171 ft * 12 in / ft + 10 in = 2052 + 10 = 2062 in

2 ft = 2 ft * 12 in / ft = 24 in

replacing:

24 in / 75 in = x / 2062 in

x = 24 * 2062/75

x = 659.84 in

Or they would also be 659.84 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 54.99 ft

That is, the height is 54.99 ft or 659.84 in

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=7/5x+6 and passes through the point (2 -6)
Igoryamba

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=7/5x+6 and passes through the point (2 -6) is:

y=-\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{32}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line:

y=7/5x+6

The equation is in slope-intercept form. In this case, the co-efficient of x is the slope of the given line

So the slope will be: 7/5

As we know that the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

\frac{7}{5}*m=-1\\m=\frac{5}{7} * (-1)\\m=-\frac{5}{7}

The general form is:

y=mx+b

Putting the value of slope

y=-\frac{5}{7}x+b

To find the value of b, putting the point (2,-6) in the equation

-6=-\frac{5}{7}(2)+b\\-6=-\frac{10}{7}+b\\b=-6+\frac{10}{7}\\b=\frac{-42+10}{7}\\b=-\frac{32}{7}

Putting the values of b and m

y=-\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{32}{7}

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=7/5x+6 and passes through the point (2 -6) is:

y=-\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{32}{7}
