Answer:

5000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

3 cm represents on a map of  a town=150 m

Distance between two points=1 km

We have to find the distance between two points on the map.

3 cm represents on a map of  a town=150 m

1 cm represents on a map of  a town=150/3 m

1 km=1000 m

1 m=100 cm

1km=1000\times 100=100000 cm

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town

=\frac{150}{3}\times 100000 m

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town=5000000 m

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town

=\frac{5000000}{1000} km

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town=5000 km

Hence, two points are separated by 5000 km on the map.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2,2) and passes through the x-intercept
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(2-(-4))/(-2-1)

  =6/-3

  =-2

in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b

use the point (1, -4) to find b

-4=(2)(1)+b

-4=2+b

b=-6

the first equation of the line is y=2x-6

to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y

0=2x-6

2x=6

x=3

the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2

for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b

y=mx+b

0=(-1/2)(3)+b

b=3/2

thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3/2
