First, simplify the equation into y=mx+b form. This would be y=3x/2-15/2. And for the slope of a line perpendicular to the original line, there is a trick. Their slopes should multiply to -1. For 3/2 to multiply to -1, you need -2/3.
It will take Lauren 1.25 seconds to hit the water.
With the given information, we can write the following quadratic equation.

Now, just use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.
You will get 1.25 and -0.75 as the zeros of the equation (where Laruen hits the water).
Only 1.25 makes sense in the context of this problem.
The answer will be 183.3 ft, hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Halves it ?
I don't really get what he wants but I guess he wants me to know that is "Cuts it in a half" basically.
I think the answer is 58, but im not 100% sure so im sorry if it is wrong
