<u>Answer</u>

y = -2x + 10


<u>Explanation</u>

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx + c where m and c are gradient and y-intercept respectively.

y=x/2+3 = y (1/2)x + 3

gradient = 1/2

Gradient of the line perpendicular to y=x/2+3 is;

m × 1/2 = -1

m = -2

Now we find the equation of a line passing through (1,8) and have a gradient of -2.

-2 = (y - 8)/(x - 1)

-2(x - 1) = (y - 8)

2 -2x = y - 8

y = -2x + 10

A car rental company charges $11 a day and 18 cents per mile to rent their cars. If the total charge for a 2-day rental was $61.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

.18m + 11d = 61.60

d = 2

.18m + 22 = 61.60

Subtract 22 from both sides

.18m = 39.60

Divide both sides by .18

m = 220

In an 18-meter race between a tortoise and a hare, the tortoise leaves 23 minutes before the hare. The hare, by running at an av
seropon [69]
We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
