Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in distance started out being 1 mile. The difference in speeds is 5 mph, so that 1 mile will be covered in ...

  time = distance/speed = 1 mi/(5 mi/h) = (1/5) h

The police will catch up in 1/5 hour, or 12 minutes.

Mariah spent $9.50 on 9 pounds of limes and pears. Limes cost $0.50 per pound and pears cost $1.50 per pound. Let l be the numbe
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

Step-by-step explanation:

I + P = 9

0.5l + 1.5P = 9.5

I = 9 - P

0.5(9 - P) + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5-0.5P + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5 + P (1P) = 9.5

P = 9.5-4.5 = 5

I = 9 - 5 = 4

Answer: 4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line equation, let us take two points

  • (0, 2)
  • (4, 1)

Finding the slope between two points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-2}{4-0}

m=-\frac{1}{4}

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4}}=4

Thus, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.
