Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment.
If both cyclists travel for the same time and speed, they will have travelled the same distance. Since one is headed north and the other east, we can see that the distance between them in one hour is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Each leg has distance x. We can say x^2 + x^2 = (3
)^2
2x^2 =1 8
x^2 = 9
x = 3
They both rode 3 miles.
<span>m(x) = –7x has an inverse which is a function.</span>
Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:
