Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.

Step-by-step explanation:
The numerator of the rational expression the money he earned for 'x' hours
The rate at which William is paid for each hour in excess of 40 hours 24.
x = 50 hours = (40 + 10 ) hours
The amount paid for excess 10 hours = 24 *10 = 240
Total amount earned for the week = 480 + 240 = 720

Answer:
does not make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! So, the train travels 80 miles in an hour. 90 minutes is equivalent ot 1 ½ hours. In case you don't know, ½ of 80 is 40. To find the distance gone in 90 minutes, we can just add 80 and 40. 80 + 40 is 120. Another way to solve it is to multiply 80 by 1.5 and you would still get the same answer. There. The train will have gone 120 miles in 90 minutes.
