Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To define the perpendicular line we need to first know the slope of the reference line graphed.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) we have points (0,5) and (2,1)

m=(1-5)/(2-0)

m=-4/2

m=-2

For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must satisfy

m1m2=-1, we have a line with a slope of -2 so

-2m=-1

m=1/2, so our perpendicular line is so far

y=x/2+b, it must have point (3,2) so we can solve for b

2=3/2+b

b=1/2, so the swimmer will travel along the line

y=x/2+1/2

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.
Klio2033 [76]
The firs term
A(1)=-6+(1-1)(6)
A(1)=-6+(0)(6)
A(1)=-6



The fourh term
A(n)=-6+(n-1)(6)
A(4)=-6+(4-1)(6)
A(4)=-6+(3)(6)
A(4)=-6+18
A(4)=12


The tenth term
A(10)=-6+(10-1)(6)
A(10)=-6+(9)(6)
A(10)=-6+54
A(10)=48

Craig ran 4 days last week. His distances were
elixir [45]
6.875 average.

To calculate the average you add up all of the numbers and divide it by the number of numbers there are, in this case there are 4 numbers. So you add 3.25+6.5+7.25+10.5 and divide that by 4
