David's age: x
Joshua: x + 5
Simon: (x+5) + 4 or x + 9

Simon's age + David's age = 15
(x+9) + (x) = 15
2x = 15 - 9
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3

The ages of the boys:

David: x = 3 years old
Joshua: 3+5 = 8 years old
Simon: 3+9 = 12 years old

The formula is y=0.5m+20

You start (0,20) then for each mile you increase by 0.5.
Or
Since the x axis is by two, then every two miles you increase by 1 mile. So (0,20); (2,21); (4,22); (6,23); (8,24).

Perpendicular to y=2x+9 and has the point (4,-1)
Wewaii [24]

Answer: y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

      In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

      Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) =  (-\frac{1}{2})(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 =  -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

     Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

          The line is y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1, or y = 1 - \frac{x}{2}.
