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.

The volume of a Cone = $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

Since for the ice cream cone has h = 4 inches; r = 0.75; π = 3.14

Then Volume of the Cone = 2.355 in³

∴ This ice cream cone can hold ≈ 2.36 in³ of ice cream without overflowing
