Y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 20 + 3 = 5x - 17
=> slope = 5

For perpendicular line, m2 = -1/m1 = -1/5

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect. The angle made by their intersection is a right angle. To know if 2 lines are perpendicular is through their slopes. The slope of the other line must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first. Since the slope of line AB is 5 hence the slope of the other line must be -1/5. C is the answer.

Y=4x. y=mx+b m=slope b=y intercept m=4 because it goes up 4 over 1 and 4/1=4 b=0 because it started at 0, making the equation y=4x+0 or just y=4x

Iteru [2.4K]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

C.4.1 in

Explanation:

We will use a proportion for this problem.

In the first ratio, we have 6 inches: 80 pounds.  This can also be written as 6/80.

For the second ratio, we do not know the length; this is x.  The weight is 55; this gives us x/55.

This makes our proportion

6/80 = x/55

Cross multiplying, we have

6(55) = 80(x)

330 = 80x

Divide both sides by 80:

330/80 = 80x/80

4.125 = x

This means the answer is 4.1.
