Answer:

B. y=1/3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the line PQ and we want to find the line that is perpendicular to it

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. When they are multiplied together, the result is -1

So first, let's find the slope of the line PQ

The point P is given as (-8, 7) and the point Q is given as (-4, -5)

The formula for the slope calculated from two points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_{1} y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have the needed information for the slope, but let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

x1=-8

y1=7

x2=-4

y2=-5

Now substitute into the formula (m is the slope, and remember: the formula contains SUBTRACTION):

m=\frac{(-5-7)}{(-4--8)}

simplify

m=\frac{-5-7}{-4+8}

add

m=-12/4

divide

m=-3

So the slope of the line PQ is -3

As said above, perpendicular lines have slopes that have a product of -1

So to find the slope of the line perpendicular to PQ, use this formula:

-3m=-1

divide both sides by -3

m=1/3

The only line that has a slope of 1/3 is B (y=1/3x+4), so B is the answer.

Hope this helps!

A bicyclist started riding at 8:00 A.M. The diagram below shows the distance the bicyclist had traveled at different times. What
Usimov [2.4K]
I think that it is saying that 8:15-8:45 is 7.5 miles right? Then 8- 8:15 is 4.5 and you are trying to find the average of an HOUR. So in order to get an hour you need 15 more mins. Which is 4.5 miles according to the chart. (8-8:15). So 4.5+4.5+7.5=16.5. Divided by three is 5.5 miles per hour. I'm not sure but this is what I would do.

Montraie has a coin collection. He keeps 10 of the coins in his box, which is 20% of the collection. How many total coins are in
jek_recluse [69]

By definition of percentages, we conclude that Montraie has 10 coins saved in his box that come from a collection with a total of 50 coins.

<h3>How to calculate the quantity of coins in a collection</h3>

In this question we know the quantity of coins in a box and such coins are part of the <em>coin</em> collection. By definition of percentage we have the <em>total</em> quantity of coins in the collection:

x = 10*(100/20)

x = 50

By definition of percentages, we conclude that Montraie has 10 coins saved in his box that come from a collection with a total of 50 coins.
