Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the distance on the map

$\frac{1}{55}$ = $\frac{x}{99\\}$

Cross multiply and solve for x

55x = 99

x = 1.8

So, the distance on the map is 1.8 inches

Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Scales on a map always represent the direct proportion.

Compare the distances as fractions:

Inches on the map

________________ = $\frac{1}{55} = \frac{x}{99}$

Miles on the ground

$x = \frac{1x99}{55}$

$x = \frac{99}{55}$

$x = \frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5}$

x = 1.8 inches

How do you solve this step by step

nydimaria [60]

Work shown above! x = 7
To solve use the supplementary angle next to the unknown angle to find an expression for that unknown angle and use that with the expressions inside the triangle to set equal to 180 and solve for x.

identify an equation in point slope form for the line perpendicular to y=3x+5 that passes through (4,-1)

Alborosie

Answer:

y-4 = (-1/3)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the equation in point slope form.

The standard equation of point slope form is:

(y-y₁) = m (x-x₁)

where m is the slope and x₁ and y₁ are the points

We are given point(4,-1) so,

x₁=4 and y₁=-1

And a perpendicular line: y =3x+5

Which is equal to y = mx+b

where m is slope so, slope m = 3

Since the line is perpendicular, so the slope in negative inverse of actual slope that m = -1/m

i.e, m = -1/3

So, the equation in point slope form is:

y-(-1) = (-1/3)(x-4)

=> y+1 = (-1/3)(x-4)
