Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B. The two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, put both lines into the same format. In this example, we're going to use y=mx+b format.
x - 4y = -9
-4y = -x + -9
y = (-x + -9) / -4
y = (x+9)/-4
y = (-1/4)x + (-9/4)
y = 3x - 7
If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. (ie 4 and 4)
If two lines are perpendicular, one line's slope is the negative reciprocal of the other. (ie 4 and -1/4)
Neither is true here.
to find the vertical height
multiply the tangent of the angle by the horizontal distance
so tan(12) x 5 = 1.0628
rounded to nearest hundredth = 1.06 miles
