Answer:

lines 1 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis

x = - 4 is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis

Then these 2 lines are perpendicular to each other

y = 15x - 3 ( in the form y = mx + c ) with m = 15

y + 1 = - 5(x + 2) ( in the form y - b = m(x - a) with m = - 5

For the lines to be perpendicular the product of their slopes = - 1

However

15 × - 5 = - 75 ≠ - 1

The 2 lines 1 and 3 are perpendicular

Answer:

$b.\ cos 70 =\dfrac{4}x$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us label the diagram as shown in the attached figure.

OR = 20'

QS = 16'

$\triangle OPQ$ is the right angled triangle that we get.

$\angle P=90^\circ$

$\angle O =70^\circ$

From the given figure symmetry, we can clearly see that:

Side OP = OR - QS

OP = 20 - 16 = 4'

Now, let us use trigonometric identity of cosine in $\triangle OPQ$ .

$cos\theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$cosO= \dfrac{OP}{OQ}\\\Rightarrow cos70^\circ= \dfrac{4}{OQ}$

Let the distance of ramp, OQ = x'

So, the above ratio becomes:

$cos70^\circ= \dfrac{4}{x}$

So, the correct answer is:

$b.\ cos 70 =\dfrac{4}x$

Peach Produces pays its employees by the formula, P(b)=52b+45 P b = 5 2 b + 45 , where P(b) P b is the employee’s total daily pa

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the daily pay formula :

P(b)=5/2b+45

P(b) = employee’s total daily pay

b = number of bushels of peaches picked

Hence from the fórmula ; rate which employees are paid per bushel. Of peach picked is the gradient of the equation :

According to the intercept slope formula:

y = mx + c ; where m = slope or gradient

From the equation :

P(b)=5/2b+45

The slope or gradient is 5/2 ; hence, employees are paid $5/2 per bushel of peaches picked.

$5/2 = $2.50

Keianaka and Christopher are participating in a volunteer project painting homes for elderly people in their neighborhood. Keian

Burka [1]

The K-team can paint a whole house in 60 minutes (super fast!!!). How much of a house can the team paint in 1 minute? The K-team can paint 1/60 of a house per minute.

The C-team can paint a whole hose in 80 minutes. How much of a house can the team paint in 1 minute? The C-team can paint 1/80 of a house per minute.

Suppose both teams paint for the same amount of time -- call the time t (minutes).

Combine the work they do to paint 1 whole house:

$\frac{1}{60}t+\frac{1}{80}t=1$

Multiply all the terms by the Least Common Denominator, LCD = 240.

$240(\frac{1}{60})t+240(\frac{1}{80})t=240$

Now, can you finish it? By the way, the answer is not a whole number! Hint: it will be between 30 and 40 minutes.
