You would divide a side of the larger rectangle by the smaller rectangle and it would give an answer of 1.5. To check if your correct times your answer by one of the sides on the smaller triangle
2017 = 2 hrs x 60 mins = 120 mins
2016 = 8/11 x 120 mins = 87.27 mins
2015 = 9/12 x 120 mins = 90 mins
Therefore, Fatema ran the fastest in 2016.
Hm..I'm pretty sure the answer is 34
Answer:
y = -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. When the equation starts out in standard form, a line with negative reciprocal slope can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them.
The given x- and y-coefficients have the ratio 1:-3, so we can use the coefficients 3 and 1 for our purpose.
The usual process of making the line go through a given point can be used. That is, we can translate the line from the origin to the desired point by subtracting the point coordinates from x and y. Then we have ...
3(x+3) +(y-5) = 0

This is "an" equation. It is in no particularly recognizable form. It can be rearranged to the form y = mx + b:
3x +9 +y -5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = -3x -4 . . . . . subtract terms that are not "y"
