Answer:

Slope is m=0

$y=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is zero.

The reason is that any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is also parallel to the x-axis and the slope of the x-axis is zero.

The equation of any line perpendicular to the y-axis is and passes through (a,b) is y=b.

The given point is (-5,-3) hence the required equation is

$y=-3$

Answer:

58.7 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The train traveled half a mile.

1 mile = 5280 ft

0.5 mile = 0.5 * 5280 ft = 2640 ft

A time from 10 sec to 55 sec is 55 sec - 10 sec = 45 seconds.

2640 ft in 45 seconds

speed = distance/time

speed = 2640 ft / 45 sec = 58.6666... ft/sec

Answer: speed = 58.7 ft/sec

Semenov [28]

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

lets create a sample space

the pirates can be sold for $7 $6 or $9

6 7 9

under the sea can be sold for $6 $7 or $9

6, 7, 9

driving test can be sold for $6 $7 or $9

6, 7, 9

here are all the combinations:

p,6

p,7

p,9

s,6

s,7

s,9

d,6

d,7

d,9

since out of 9 combinations driving test is the only one that is not water related lets look at that. There are only 2 combinations of driving test which are less than or equal to $7, (d,7 and d,6) hence the probability of selling no water games for less than $7 is 2/9
