A perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal slope. This means that the new line will have a slope of -4/3x. Plug in x and y into the equation y=Mx +b where m is the slope (-4/3):
-3=(-3/4)(-3) + b
and isolate b:
b-3=(-3/4)(-3)
b=(-3/4)(-3) +3
b=9/4+3
b=21/4

The final equation is y= -4/3x + 21/4
The y intercept is (21/4).

A person can drive 200 miles in 4 hours.What is the constant of proportionality?

Eddi Din [679]

To get the constant of proportionality (unit rate) you must find the miles driven in 1 hour. To get this you simply divide 200 by 4...
200÷4=50
So, the constant of proportionality is 50 mph.

In the figure, angle K measures 45 degrees. What is the measurement of angle C?

Delvig [45]

It is 45 because the triangle should be 180 degree and if K is 45 then J should be 45, too. We all know that the right triangle is 90 degree, so we add angle J and G, it is 135. Lastly, you subtract 180- 135=45.
