Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 4 = -1

Divide by 4

m = -1/4

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of 4 is -1/4

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other,

meaning if the slope of one line is 4 then its perpendicular lines slope is -1/4.

Thus,

its slope is -1/4.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Greater than (>)

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles.

He wants to run further this week.

Distance Run this week

2.4 miles to the park,
Four times around the park= 4p (if distance around the park is p miles)
2.4 miles back from the park.

Total Distance this week =2.4+4p+2.4

Since his distance this week is going to be greater than the total distance covered last week (26.1 miles), we then have:

Total Distance covered this week > Total Distance Last week

$2.4+4p+2.4>26.1$

Jason should use the greater than inequality sign.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

between 222 and 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This relation includes the point (0, 2).

A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).

This is not proportional, but it may be linear.

Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)

y = mx + b

20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b

20 = 18/2 × 2 + b

b = 2

y = 18x + 2

When 4000 people know, y = 4000.

y = 18x + 2

4000 = 18x + 2

3998 = 18x

x = 3998/18

x = 222.111...

Answer: between 222 and 223 days
