Answer:

y= -1.5x-7 is the equation of the perpendicular line

Here's why:

when we convert 2x-3y=8 to standard form, we get y= 2/3x-8/3. This means the perpendicular line will have a slope of the negative reciprocal of the original one, so the perpendicular slope is -1.5. When we substitute the points (-2,-4) into the equation y=-1.5x+b, we get a b value of -7. So the perpendicular line equation is y= -1.5x-7. You can't the parallel line equation with the points (-2,-4) as it is part of the line 2x-3y=8.

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (04.01)The Boardman family walked two over five of a mile in two over seven of an hou

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The unit rate in miles per hour = 1.4 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance walked by Boardman family = Two over five of a mile = $\frac{2}{5}\ miles$

Time taken by Boardman family = Two over seven of an hour = $\frac{2}{7}\ hour$

To find:

The unit rate in the miles per hour = ?

Solution:

Formula for the rate or the speed can be given as:

$Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Putting the values:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{2}5}{\frac{2}7}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{5}\\\Rightarrow \bold{1.4\ miles/hr}$

So, the unit rate in miles per hour = 1.4 miles/hr
