Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour
The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.
Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)
Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.
The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.
Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.
So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c
Which would be 1 = -1 +c
And so c = 2
Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2
Answer:
PQ and QR are congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of PQ = sqrt [(2 - -1)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2]
= sqrt 25
= 5 units.
QR = sqrt [(5-2)^2 + (3 - -1)^2) ]
= sqrt 25
= 5 units.
PR = sqrt [ ( 3-3^2 + (5- -1)^2]
= sqrt 36
= 6 units.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you can eliminate the radical by squaring both sides of the equation
