The proportional relationship can be a representation of a constant speed or velocity but the slope is the velocity which is constant.
Convert 3/4 and 1/10 to have the same denominator. You'll get 15/20 and 2/20.
Divide 15 by 2 and you get 7 with a remainder of 1, which means that there can be 7 pieces cut with 1/10 meter of wood left.
Answer:
y= (1/4)x+2
Explanation:
Comparing y =-4x + 8 to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
• Slope = -4.
Let the slope of the new line = m
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
Therefore:
The slope of the perpendicular line = 1/4
Since the line passes through the point (8,4), we have:
The equation of the perpendicular line is y= (1/4)x+2
