Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One

Find the perpendicular to the line with a given slope of - 1

m1 * m2 = - 1 Let the given line have a slope of - 1. Call it m1

-1 * m2 = - 1 Divide both sides by -1

-1/-1 * m2 = -1/-1

m2 = 1

Step Two

Write what you have so far

y = 1 * x + b

y = x + b

Step Two

Solve the general equation for (2,-2)

y = x + b

x = 2

y = -2

-2 = 2 + b Subtract 2 from both sides

-2 - 2 = b switch and add

b= - 4

Answer

y = x -4

At higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures. This relationship between altitude and boiling point is linear. At an al

Mashutka [201]

Let's assume

boiling point is y

altitude is x

we are given

This relationship between altitude and boiling point is linear

At an altitude of 1000 feet, water boils at 210°F

so, first point is (1000,210)

so, x1=1000 , y1=210

At an altitude of 3000 feet, water boils at 206°F

so, second point is (3000,206)

so, x2=3000,y2=206

now, we can find slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

now, we can plug values

$m=\frac{206-210}{3000-1000}$

$m=-\frac{1}{500}$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

so, we can plug it

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(x-1000)$

so, point slope form of line is

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(x-1000)$

now, we can plug x=8000

and then we can solve for y

$y-210=-\frac{1}{500}(8000-1000)$

$y=196$

So,

the boiling point of water at an altitude of 8000 feet is 196°F..........Answer

A candle maker has 4 1/2 pounds of clear wax. He wants to cut the wax into pieces that are 2/3 pound each. How many 2/3 pound pi

prisoha [69]

Answer:

a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.

b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of clear wax available = $4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$ pounds

So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax

Now, The weight of each piece = $\frac{2}{3} = 0.66$ pounds

To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,

let that number = n

So, $n = \frac{\textrm{Total weight of the clear wax}}{\textrm{Weight of each wax}}$

or, n = $n = \frac{4.5}{0.66} = 6.81$

So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax

Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made

= 4.5- 6(0.66)

= 0.54 pounds

Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over

-6n-20=-2n+4 (1-3n)<br> how do you solve it?

Leona [35]

6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)

−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n

−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)

−6n−20=−14n+4

−6n−20=−14n+4

Add 14n to both sides.

−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n

8n−20=4

Add 20 to both sides.

8n−20+20=4+20

8n=24

Divide both sides by 8.

8n/8 = 24/8

n=3
