Answer:

k = 575

Step-by-step explanation:

let d be distance and h time.

Given d varies directly as h then the equation relating them is

d = kh ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 2875, h = 5, then

2875 = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = 575

First to get the equation you knew to understand one thing about perpendicular lines. The slope of the line is the opposite reciprocal of the perpendicular lines or the new slope is m = 10.

Then you use the formula
y = mx + b
you plug in your values from the point and the new slope.
(1,5) with new slope m
5= 10(1)+b
5-10=b
-5 = b
then make your new equation
y = 10x -5
that's your line that goes through point (1,5) and is perpendicular to the line given

elixir [45]

Answer:

Marco's boxes weigh 15 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 14(x - 8) = 233

9x + 14x - 112 = 233

23x = 345

x = 15
