The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.
Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.
5x - 9y = 1
-9y = -5x + 1
y = 5/9x - 1/9
To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).
To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).
This gives us a new slope of
The answer is 0.375 because 1/8=0.125 and 1/4=0.25 so you add the both of them and you get 0.375
I may not be able to help you but i do feel your pain lol
Answer to 4.
About 106.66
If they ask if a rounded answer it would be 107. You just divide 2560 by 24 because you know 24 balls is 3 pounds.
The answer is c hopefully it helps you
