Answer:
y = - x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange - 4x + 4y = 4 into this form by adding 4x to both sides
4y = 4x + 4 ( divide all terms by 4 )
y = x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 1
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= - 
= - 
= - 1, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 4, 5) into the partial equation
5 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 4 = 1
y = - x + 1 ← equation of perpendicular line
"measures to the nearest tenth of a pound" tell us to round each of the weights listed to the nearest tenth (since the unit is already pounds, no conversion is needed). What this means is if the second number to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, then we add 1 to the first number to the right of the decimal (and replace the second number with a zero). With all this said, it's much easier to show you, rather than to try to explain it. :D
4.35 is rounded up to 4.4 because the second number to the right of the decimal is 5.
Packet A = 4.4
Packet B = 4.4
Packet C = 4.5
Packed D = 4.4
The question is asking what the heaviest reading will be, so from the whole list above we pick the highest number which is 4.5 pounds. Notice how the answer is not Packet C, or 4.48 pounds, but 4.5 pounds. It is asking for the reading, not the packet, nor the weight. Hope this helps.
The answer is 1/25 because the time is each hour which goes on top and how much it changes goes every 25 miles per hour
The answer for x is
x = 1.2
