Y=ax+b, y=cx+d (a≠0, c≠0)
If the two line cross perpendicularly ⇔ ac= -1
So a tangent of the perpendicular line is "-(1/5)".
Then, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=-(1/5)x+a (a is <span> y-intercept</span>).
On the other hand, this equation pass r(1, 3), so
3 = -(1/5) times 1 + a
∴ a=16 / 5
Therefore, y=-(1/5)x+16 /5 is answer.
By the way, I'm Japanese so if you find some mistakes in my English, please let me know.
With 10 to the power to a negative number, it's easier.
Here's a trick: The negative number is the places to the right of the decimal. The last number is a 1, while the rest are 0s.
From this, we get:
10/4 is 2.5. The snail travels 2.5 cms ever min. So 24/2.5 is 9.6 so the snail takes 9 mins and 36 seconds.
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
From the Free Response Row,
For the Total Time(in minutes) column
Since x=55-3m and x=8(15-m)
Therefore:
55-3m =8(15-m)
55-3m=120-8m
Collect like terms
-3m+8m=120-55
5m=65
Divide both sides by 5
m=13
Therefore:
x=55-3m=55-3(13)=55-39
x=16
