Answer: 18:6
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 a mile
2/10 time 10=20/100
20/100+ 60/100=80/100 or 4/5
The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.
The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.
To represent the change in points, you can think of it in two ways:
1. You will go down 25 points for every wrong answer, so -25 + -25 + -25 would represent what is happening. They are all negative, so you keeping moving down in value.
2. You can also think of this as 3 groups of -25.
Both answers are -75. The answer is negative because the change was down in points.
-75 is the integer that represents this situation.
