The simultaneous equations is missing +8
Answer:
8 miles away
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the 6 miles and the 2 miles together.
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Slope 2 turns into -1/2
Y = -1/2x + b
Plug in the point
-5 = -1/2(2) + b, b = -4
Solution: y = -1/2x - 4
Answer
The distance from the house to the lake is (2.5 hr)*(48 mi/hr) = 120 miles. The rerurn trip would take (120 mi)/(40 mi/hr) = 3 hours. Distance equals rate times time, so the distance to the lake is 2 1/2 hours times 48 miles per hour.
I hope this helps
The square root of 120 rounded to the nearest hundredth would be 10.95.
