Answer:

It will take Machine A 20 additional minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have get the rate of work per hour, Machine A builds 1/2 of a car per hour, while Machine B builds 1/3 of a car per hour.

Using this we can determine the amount of work that has been done so far in one hour before Machine B broke down:

1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Now we can produce an equation accordingly to determine how much time it'll take machine a to finish the job:

5/6 + 1/2x = 1

1/2x = 1/6

x = 1/3 hours = 20 minutes

Note: In the question you typed "how much additional time will it take machine b to finish" but I think you meant machine a because machine b broke down. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps! And let me know if you have any questions!

Write an equation passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line: (-3,5);y = 3/4x-4
balandron [24]

Hey!

So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).

Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.

5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:

y = -(4/3)x + 1
