15 is 60 percent of 25. 15x100/60 and it should be 25.
Answer:
C) 7
===========================================
Work Shown:
Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)
-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying
-5r+20 = 6-3r
-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides
20 = 6+2r
20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides
14 = 2r
2r = 14
2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2
r = 7
The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-7)/(7-4)
m = -5/3
The answer is confirmed
Any perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope. So your slope would be 2. The. You would have the equation : y=2x+b. You would then replace the coordinate (5,6) with x and y on your line to solve for b. Your equation would be : y=2x-4
