Step-by-step explanation: the perpendicular slope is going to be the negative reciprocal of your given slope. In this case the perpendicular line has a slope of 5, because u flip -1/5 to make -5 and u negate -5 to make 5. This perpendicular slope passes through (-2,-2) and u find the y intercept like this: -2=(5(-2))+b. Therefore the y intercept is 8 and the perpendicular slope is y=5x+8
If you do the vertical line test, there are 3 points that need to be removed, as there can only be 1 x value for every y value in order for it to be a function.
Let the speed of boat in still water be x and speed of stream by y.
Speed at which it went upstream would be (x-y) and the speed at which it went downstream would be (x+y). According to question x+y=24 and x-y=28. x=26 and y=-2.
