Point A altimeter reading: +450
Point B altimeter reading: -50
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 5 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation
x = c
Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (2, 7) with an x- coordinate of 2, thus
x = 2 ← is the equation of the perpendicular line
To solve this problem we want to let X equal the amount of points that team A scored. Now we want to express the amount of points that team B scored in terms of X. If team A scored 7 more points than team B then team B scored X-7 points. We know that together they scored 163 points so we can set up this equation: x + x - 7 = 163 2x - 7 = 163 2x = 155 X = 78 Team A scored 78 points
