That's pretty much a tricky question though
If you would like to know Mike's tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:
a market value ... 310000
the property ... 40% of the market value = 40% * 310000 = 40/100 * 310000 = 124000
the tax rate ... 145.10 per 1000 of assessed valuation
145.10 ... 1000 of assessed valuation
x ... 124000 of assessed valuation
____________________________
145.10 * 124000 = 1000 * x /1000
x = 145.10 * 124000 / 1000
x = 17992.4 (Mike's tax)
The correct result would be: Mike's tax is 17992.4.
The slope of the line MN where M (9,6) and N (1,4) can be obtained by obtaining the rate of the rise over the run. This is shown below:
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 6)/(1 - 9) = (-2)/(-8)
m1 = 1/4
The slope of the line perpendicular to line MN can be obtained by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of line MN.
m1 = 1/4
m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4
Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line MN is -4.
I just took the test the answer is 9 cm.
