Answer:

1 and 3 are both perpendicular to segment NY

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope of line NY

slope of NY = 5-(-7)/-11-5 = - 3/4

Any line that is perpendicular to NY should have a slope of the inverse of negative slope of NY.

2.Find the slope of perpendicular lines

the inverse of negative slope of NY = - (-4/3) = 4/3

Please solve, -7x+8=-4(x+1)

omeli [17]

Answer: $x=4$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

$-7x+8=-4(x+1)\\-7x+8=(-4)(x)+(-4)(1)(Distribute)\\-7x+8=-4x+-4$

Add 4x to both sides

$-7x+8+4x=-4x-4+4x\\-3x+8=-4$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$-3x+8-8=-4-8\\-3x=-12$

Divide both sides by -3

$-3x/-3=-12/-3\\x=4$

Bob's truck averages 23 miles per gallon. If Bob is driving to his mother's house, 72 miles away, how many gallons of gas are ne

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to figure out how many gallons of gas go into 72 miles. We know 23 miles is equal to one gallon of gas, and given that the ratio of miles to gas stays the same, we can say that

miles of gas / gallons = miles of gas / gallons

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles / gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house

If we write the gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house as g, we can say

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles/g

multiply both sides by 1 gallon to remove a denominator

23 miles = 72 miles * 1 gallon /g

multiply both sides by g to remove the other denominator

23 miles * g = 72 miles * 1 gallon

divide both sides by 23 miles to isolate the g

g = 72 miles * 1 gallon/23 miles

= 72 / 23 gallons

≈ 3.1 gallons

Veronika [31]

The dimensions given are 8 feet length and 4 inches height. The volume of the rectangular portion is $58.07 divided by $98 per cubic yard equal to 0.59255 cubic yards. 8 feet is equal to 8/3 yards and 4 inches is equal to 1/9 yards. Hence the width is equal to 0.59255 cubic yards / (8/3)/(1/9) yards2 equal to 2 yards
