Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we need to solve this is:

d_1+d_2=2a

Where

d_1  is the distance from one focus to the vertex

d_2  is the second distance from another focus to same vertex

<u>Note:</u> Here, vertex point is the point on top. The common point from which the RED and BLUE line meets the 2 foci

a  is half the length of the major axis (which is 9 here since total major axis is given as 18)

<em>Now we can plug into the equation and solve:</em>

<em>d_1+d_2=2a\\8.5+d_2=2(9)\\8.5+d_2=18\\d_2=18-8.5\\d_2=9.5</em>

<em />

<em>D is the correct answer.</em>

Raul drove 80 miles. This represents 50% of his entire trip. What is the total number of miles in Raul's trip?
Dafna11 [192]
If 80 miles is 50% of his trip, then you know that 80 miles is only HALF of his entire trip. To get the distance Raul traveled in total, simply double the 80 miles. This would be 160 miles. 
Raul traveled a total of 160 miles in his trip.

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16
Alekssandra [29.7K]

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2
