Answer:

y-9 = -1/12(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation of a line perpendicular to the graph of y = 12x-3 and passing through the point, we will follow the following steps.

The standard form of point-slope form of the equation of a line is  given as

y − y1 = m(x − x1),

m is the slope of the unknown line

(x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Step 1: We need to calculate the slope of the known line first,

Given y = 12x-3

from the equation, m = 12 on comparison.

Step 2: get the slope of the unknown line. since the line given is perpendicular to the line y = 12x - 3, the product of their slope will be -1 i.e Mm = -1

M = -1/m

M is the slope of the unknown line

M = -1/12

Step 3: We will substitute M = -1/12 and the point (8, 9) into the point-slope form of the equation of a line i.e y − y1 = M(x − x1),

M = -1/12, x1 = 8 and y1 = 9

y-9 = -1/12(x-8)

A team of scientists is traveling by boat to study a pod, or group, of dolphins. The equation y = 0.2x can be used to find the d
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = 0.2*x

is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.

We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.

Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.

Then we need to solve the equation:

y = 8.4 = 0.2*x

for x

To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:

8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2

42 = x

And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.
