Let's find the slope for line t first.
We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.
1 - 6 / 10 - 2
-5/8
The slope is -5/8.
Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.
When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.
Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5
<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>Answer:
a.- slope= 36
Interpretation : The cable car travels 36 meter per minute
b.- y = 36x + 100
c.- 640 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
a.-
Find slope using the slope formula :
Plug in the two given points:
Subtract the numbers :
Reduce the fraction : 36
b.-
Using the given y-interspet (100) and the slope create an equation: y = 36x + 100
c.-
Using the equation you created plug in 15 for x to find the
distance: y = 36 (15) + 100
Multiply the numbers : y = 540 + 100
Add the numbers : y = 640
