Answer:

Perpendicular lines have slope that are negative reciprocals.

The slope of the perpendicular line is M = -1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,-1) --> X = 4, Y = -1, M = -1/3

y = Mx + b

-1 = (-1/3)*4 + b

-1 = (-4/3) + b

-3/3 = (-4/3) + b

-3 = -4 + 3b

1 = 3b

b = 1/3

y = (-1/3)X + 1/3

Evan’s family drove to a theme park for vacation. They drove the same speed throughout the trip. The first day, they drove 300 m

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: Evan's family drove 150 miles on the third day.

Explanation:
Because they had driven the same speed throughout the trip, dividing the miles driven by the hours would result in the miles that they drove per hour. 300/6 and 250/5 = 50. So, Evan's family drove 50 miles per hour. To solve for the hours driven on the third day, you need to multiply the hours driven by the miles that were driven per hour.

3 hrs. x mph (miles per hour) = miles driven on the third day

Hope this helps! Sorry, I don't have the time to reread my answer, but I'm positive that it'll make sense to you somewhat.

Simplify 8(7x – 1) + 4(x + 5).

Elina [12.6K]

8(7x-1)+4(x+5)

multiply; 8 x 7=

56x + -1 + 4x +5

reorder the terms;

-1 + 5 + 56x + 4x

Combine like terms; -1 + 5 = 4

4 + 56x + 4x
