well, keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmmm what's the slope of MN anyway, well, let's use those two points of 2,3 and -3, 2 to get the slope of it.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\\\\\\slope =  m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{2-3}{-3-2}\implies \cfrac{-1}{-5}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}{\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{5}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{5}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{5}{1}\implies -5}}


so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -5 and runs through K(3,-3)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})~\hspace{10em} slope =  m\implies -5 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-3)=-5(x-3) \\\\\\ y+3=-5x+15\implies y=-5x+12 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{x=2}{y=-5(2)+12}\implies y=-10+12\implies y=2~\hfill \boxed{(2,2)}

Nguyen looked at 70 web sites in 7 hours. At that rate, how many web sites would he look at in 12 minutes?
cluponka [151]

Nguyen looked at 70 websites in 7 hours

From Work and time relationship

W = R x T

W = 70

T = 7 hours

70 = R x 7

70 = 7R

Divide both sides by 7

70/7 = 7R/7

R = 10 websites / hours

A little girl standing next to a telephone pole at 10 AM. The little girl is 4'6" tall and the telephone pole is 40 feet high. I
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The shadow of the pole is 1.2 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

A little girl standing next to a telephone pole at 10 AM.

From the above question

Height of the girl = 4'6" tall = 4 feet and 6 inches tall

We convert to feet

= 12 inches = 1 foot

6 inches = x

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 6 × 1

x = 6/12 = 1/2 = 0.5 feet

Hence, the total height of the girl =

4 feet + 0.5 feet = 4.5 feet

The height of the telephone pole = 40 feet high.

The shadow of the telephone pole

= 8' 32 foot shadow

= 8 feet, 32 inches

We convert the inches to feet

12 inches = 1 foot

32 inches = x

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 32 × 1

x = 32/12 = 8/3 = 2.67 feet

Total length of the pole = 8 feet+ 2.67 feet = 10.67 feet

how long is a little girl shadow?

This is calculated using proportion

Shadow/Height

Shadow of the girl = x

Hence:

Shadow of the girl/Height of the girl = Shadow of the pole/Height of the pole

x/4.5 feet = 10.67 feet/40 feet

Cross Multiply

40 × x= 4.5 × 10.67

x = 4.5 × 10.67/40

x = 1.200375 feet

Approximately = 1.2 feet

Hence, the shadow of the pole is 1.2 feet long

How many solutions does 4(x-1)-x = 3(x+5)-11 have
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-1)-x = 3(x+5)-11

4x-4-x=3x+15-11

we combine like terms.

4x-x-4=3x+14

3x-4=3x+14

we then isolate the variables.

3x-4=3x+14

   +4       +4

3x=3x+18

-3x -3x

0≠18

No solutions
