You can tell if a line is parallel because the x (0,0) is straight but with perpendicular its going to change is going to shape its self different

It'll be the opposite reciprocal in front of the X like instead of 3 it will be -1/3 so flip it and change the sign

A person drove 36 miles per hour on a trip. If he had driven 48 miles per hour he would have arrived 4 hours earlier. What was t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

d = 576

Step-by-step explanation

Think of the two different speeds as belonging to 2 different cars going to the same place, taking the same route and going to the same place.

Let the time traveled by the fast car = t

Let the time traveled by the slower car = t+4

Let the rate of travel of the slow car = 36 mph

Let the rate of travel of the fast car = 48 mph

===========

d = 36*(t + 4)

d = 48 * t

Since the distance is the same, they can be equated.

48t = 36(t + 4)           Remove the brackets.

48t = 36t + 144          Subtract 36t from both sides.

48t - 36t = 144           Combine

12t = 144                     Divide by 12

t = 144/12

t = 12

Therefore the faster car takes 12 hours to get where it is going.

d = 48 * t

d = 48 * 12

d = 576

A traveler is driving across the country and spots Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. She has read that the arch is 630 feet t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The answer is 0.2mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical height of the building, which is 630ft, is opposite the angle of elevation (30°).

While the horizontal distance to the tower is adjacent to the building. So, we take the tangent of the angle of elevation in terms of this unknown distance (x) and the vertical height.

So,

Tangent = opposite ÷ adjacent

Tan30° = 630ft ÷ x

x = 630ft ÷ tan30°

x = 1091.192ft

But,

1 mile = 5,280ft

1091.192ft = (1/5280) x 1091.192

= 0.2mile

Which point(s) lie on the line whose equation is - 4x + 5y - 12 = 8 Select all that apply. A (5, 0) В (- 2, 2.4) (8, 5) D (10, 1
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Options B, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

-4x + 5y - 12 = 8

-4x + 5y = 20

If a point given in the options lie on the line, point will satisfy the equation.

Option A.

For a point (5, 0),

-4(5) + 5(0) = 20

-20 = 20

False

Therefore, (5, 0) will not lie on the given line.

Option B

For (-2, 2.4)

-4(-2) + 5(2.4) = 20

8 + 12 = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (-2, 2.4) will lie on the given line

Option C

For (8, 5),

-4(8) + 5(5) = 20

-32 + 25 = 20

-7 = 20

False

Therefore, (8, 5) will not lie on the line.

Option D

For (10, 12)

-4(10) + 5(12) = 20

-40 + 60 = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (10, 12) will lie on the line.

Option E

For (0, 4)

-4(0) + 5(4) = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (0, 4) will lie on the line.

Options B, D and E are correct.
