Answer:
36 Teachers in Total
Step-by-step explanation:
I would use Ratio.
Students: 128 + 121 + 135 = 384 total students
Teachers: Students
3 : 32
36 : 384
384 ÷ 32 = 12
12 x 3 = 36
Step 
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
Let

slope mAB is equal to

Step 
<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>
Let
CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to 
so

Step 
<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>
we know that
the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

Multiply by
both sides


therefore
the answer is
the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation 
Answer:
(-4, -1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
to calculate the midpoints bt of the line use the ormula:

Where (x1, x2) is one coordinate point and (y1, y2) is anither coordinate point. Any two points will work, but I chose A (-5,-4) and B (-3, 3).

(-4, -1/2)
First let's reduce the feet to miles
there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore
26400 feet=5 miles
31680 feet=6 miles
Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles
Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles
We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.
slope: 6/120=?=5/96
1/20=?=5/96
Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.
so 1/20<5/96
So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.
As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.
In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!
