Answer:

  D)  5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the line goes through the origin, its slope is the ratio of y to x coordinates of points on that line. Thus the given line has slope ...

  given slope = 2/-5 = -2/5

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this value:

  perpendicular slope = -1/(-2/5) = 5/2

Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 55 pages per hour. After reading for 4 hours, he had 330 page
alina1380 [7]

She reads at 55 pages per hour for 4 hours so 55*4 = 220 pages so far. This means that she read 220 and had 330 left so 220 + 330 = 550 so the book is 550 pages. If she reads 55 pages per hour and there is a total of 550 pages, 550/55 = 10 hours to read the book.

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method.
BabaBlast [244]
The answer is:
4x+2y=11}  4x+2y=11} x=2-2y
x-2=-2y    }  x+2y=2    } x=2-2(-3/6)
                                      x=2-(-6/6)
4(2-2y)+2y=11              x=2-(-1)
8-8y+2y=11                   x=3
8-6y=11
-6y=11-8
-6y=3/-6
y=-3/6=-1/2

So for my opinion the solution is A.(3,-1/2)

Find the linear approximation of f(x)=lnx at x=1 and use it to estimate ln(1.38).
RideAnS [48]
\bf f(x)=y=ln(x)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=1\\
y=ln(1)\to y=0
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{1}{x} \right|_{x=1}\implies 1\impliedby m
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we know that }
\begin{cases}
x=1\\
y=0\\
m=1
\end{cases}\implies y-0=1(x-1)\implies y=x-1

now, you're asked to use it when ln(1.38), which is just another way of saying x = 1.38

so set x = 1.38 and see what "y" is
