Answer:

(C) -7x − 5y = -48

Step-by-step explanation:

We look for the equation of the line AB

We have then:

y-yo = m (x-x0)

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (4 - (- 1)) / (4 - (- 3))

m = 5/7

We choose an ordered pair:

(xo, yo) = (4, 4)

Substituting:

y-4 = (5/7) (x-4)

y = (5/7) x-20/7 + 4

7y = 5x - 20 + 28

7y = 5x + 8

y = (5/7) x + 8/7

The equation of the perpendicular line is:

-7x - 5y = -48

Answer:

the equation of BC is:

(C) -7x - 5y = -48

Group together the like terms (plus 2x with 2x) (subtract 10 by 6)

4x+4=36

Move plus four to the other side as a negative

4x=32

Divide both sides by 4

32 divided by 4 is 8


Therefore, x is equal to 8

A car traveling at 32 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 14 seconds. What is its acceleration?
valentina_108 [34]
We have:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s ⇒ The value is zero because the car comes to stationary position when it stops
Time = 14 seconds

We can use one of the constant acceleration equation:
v=u+at where a is the acceleration

0=32+14a
32=-14a
a=- \frac{32}{14}=-2.3m/s^{-2}

The acceleration is 2.3 m/s⁻² and the negative sign shows deceleration
