Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 7) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4.

tresset_1 [31]

Solution:

Equation of line perpendicular to , x=4 is

y +k=0

As, keep in mind , the equation of line perpendicular to , ax + by +c=0 is b x - a y +c=0

As, given the line perpendicular to, x =4, passes through the point (5,7).

So, y+k =0, passes through (5,7).

→ 7 +k=0

→ k= -7

So, line perpendicular to x=4, which passes through the point (5,7) is →y-7=0 that is y=7.

Option (C) →y=7

As low tide came in, the ocean dropped by a rate of 12 inches every 3 minutes. Write a rational # describing this rate.

RSB [31]

You can write every speed as the ratio between the space and time, so in this case you have

$\dfrac{12\text{ inches}}{3\text{ minutes}} = 4\ \dfrac{\text{inches}}{\text{minute}}$

Which is steeper: a road with a 12% grade or a road with a pitch of 1 in 8?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A road with a pitch of 1 in 8 is steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us convert these to the same units so that we can better compare them.

$\frac{1}{8} = 0.125$

0.125=12.5 %

As 12.5% is greater than 12%, the road with a pitch of 1 in 8 will be steeper.
