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.

A student charges $31.50 for 3 hours of babysitting. If the amount the student earns babysitting is proportional to the hours sp

vodomira [7]

Answer:

C) y is equal to 10.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

$31.50 is charged for 3 hours so, for 1 hour we need to divide 31.50 by 3, which results in 10.50. So 1 hour of babysitting is $10.50

this is because x is equal to the number of hours they babysit. we do not know the actual so it is replaced with x

and y is equal to the sum of 10.5x because we multiply the number of hours worked, and the amount per hour.

Dora buys one package each of 1- pound, 2- pound, and 4-pound packages if ground beef to make hamburgers. How many 1/4-pound ham

Alisiya [41]

82. Dora bought one package of each 1-pound pork, 2-pound pork and 4-pound pork. Thus, she got a total of: => 1 pound + 2 pounds + 4 pounds = 7 pounds of pork. Question: How many ¼ pound of hamburger she can make then with this given number of pork in pounds. => ¼ = 1 / 4 = .25 Now, let’s divide 7 pounds by .25 pounds => 7 / .25 = 28 Thus, She can make 28 hamburgers in all.
