The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)
4x+3y=12
3y=-4x+12
y=-4x/3+12/3
So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:
y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so
5=3(7)/4+b
5=21/4+b
20/4-21/4=b
-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:
y=3x/4-1/4
So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank. When it does y=y so we can say:
(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3 cross multiply
3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)
9x-3=-16x+48
25x=51
x=51/25
x=2.04
y=(3x-1)/4
y=(3*2.04-1)/4
y=1.28
So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2
d^2=38.44
d=√38.44
d=6.2 units
Since he can run at 10 uph...
t=d/v
t=6.2/10
t=0.62 hours (37 min 12 sec)
So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
A line passes throught the origin (-1, 1) and (4, n). Find the value of n. enter the correct answer in the box. I'd say (4, -2)
If I'm wrong sorry. If I'm correct May I Have Brainliest? <3
The last one is the correct one.
Answer:
One pair of socks is $370.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sean bought <em>three pairs</em> of the same socks and a shoe polish for $1450. If the
polish cost $340, how much is the cost of <em>one pair</em> of socks.
6x - 340 = 1450
6x = 1450 -340
6x = 1110
2x = 1110 / 3
2x = 370
Steps to solve:
15 + 2a = 35
~Subtract 15 to both sides
2a = 20
~Divide 2 to both sides
a = 10
Best of Luck!
