A perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal slope. This means that the new line will have a slope of -4/3x. Plug in x and y into the equation y=Mx +b where m is the slope (-4/3):
-3=(-3/4)(-3) + b
and isolate b:
b-3=(-3/4)(-3)
b=(-3/4)(-3) +3
b=9/4+3
b=21/4
The final equation is y= -4/3x + 21/4
The y intercept is (21/4).
Steve woke up with a temp of 102.....later, it was 3 degrees lower. This is telling u to subtract...because it is going lower.
102 - 3 = 99...so now he has a temp of 99
Answer:
a. 8 gallons
b. (11-0.75t) gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Here in this question, we are told that the total amount of fuel in the fuel tank is 11 gallons and the car consumes 0.75 gallon per hour. We are interested in knowing the amount of fuel left in the tank after driving for four hours.
We proceed as follows;
Since 0.75 gallon is consumed in an hour, the amount of fuel consumed in 4 hours would be the amount consumed in an hour * 4 hours
Mathematically, that would be 0.75 * 4 = 3 gallon
Now, the amount of fuel left is simply the difference between the initial amount of fuel in the tank minus the amount of fuel present after 4 hours.
That would be; 11 - 3 = 8 gallons
b. Like above, we want to know the amount of fuel left after t hours.
Since 0.75 is used up per hour, the amount used up in t hours would be 0.75 * t = 0.75t
Now, the amount of fuel that would be left in the tank would be the difference between what we had initially and what was used up.
Mathematically, that would be 11- 0.75t
Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Archimedes was able o obtain the actual volume of the supposedly gold made object by collecting the water displaced by the object as it was sunk on a bowl filled with water to the rim. Then knowing the volume displaced and therefore the volume of the object, he could find the object's density (mass over volume). The mass he could get just by weighting the object. and compare that with the density of any other object made of real gold (like for example a coin) and see if the quotient was the same. The density of both objects should be the same if they are made of the same material.
