Answer:

y = -x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation for y, we have ...

y = x +4

The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...

b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5

The perpendicular line has equation ...

y = -x +5

This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.

You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)

Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:

x = 28 copies.

The final answer is 28 copies per minute

Carly lives in Scottsdale, AZ and plans to go visit downtown Glendale, AZ. The map with a scale of 2 cm for every 4 km shows the

AleksandrR [38]

Comparing map distance to real distance we get 2cm/4km. That means 1cm = 2km.

So the map distance is half the real distance (well, technically not as one is in cm and the other in km but it’s enough to think this way) and a real distance of 10km must mean a map distance of half that (again ignoring the units) so we get 5cm.
