Step-by-step explanation:Blue + Red=-2
Answer:
Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the given line.
For example, if a given line has the slope 3/2, the the perpendicular line would have the slope -2/3.
For the given line: y = 4x - 7, the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/4
There isn't enough info in the question to determine the y-intercept. Literally, any y-intercept could work and the line would still be perpendicular. Is the line supposed to pass through a certain point?
Your answer would be something like: y = -1/4 x + b
b is the y-intercept...if your question paper is multiple choice, choose the answer with the slope of -1/4. If it's supposed to pass through a certain point (x,y) replace x and y with the values in that point and solve for b to get the y-intercept.
In 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:1, so the difference in their ages will be 4 ratio units. Those 4 units correspond to 32 years, so each unit corresponds to 32/4 = 8 years.
Thus, in 5 years, Kate will be 8 and her father will be 40. Right now, Kate is ...
... 8 - 5 = 3 years old.
_____
<em>Using equations</em>
Let k represent Kate's current age. Then in 5 years Kate will be k+5, and we will have ...
... 5(k+5) = (k+5)+32 . . the relationship betewen their ages in 5 years
... 5k +25 = k +37 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 4k = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . add -25-k
... k = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Kate is 3 years old.
