Answer:
The answer is B. 200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. What that means is if u have a slope of 1/2, to find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign.......flip 2/1, change the sign -2/1 or just -2. So the negative reciprocal for the slope of 1/2 is -2.
A. y = 1/5x + 3.....slope here is 1/5, so for a perpendicular line, u r gonna need an equation with the slope of -5.....and that would be : y + 3 = -5(x + 2).
B. Parallel lines will have the same slope. y = 5x - 2...the slope here is 5...so a parallel line will have a slope of 5.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(8,-2)...x = 8 and y = -2
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
-2 = 5(8) + b
-2 = 40 + b
-2 - 40 = b
-42 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = 5x -42
Answer:
sqrt(277) =x
x is approximately 16.64331698
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
9^2+14^2 =x^2
81+196 = x^2
277 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(277) =x
