Answer:
10 and 31/100
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance of Boondocks from Podunk to be x
1/3 x +1 = 1/2x
1=1/2x-1/3x
1= 1/6 x
6*1=x
6 miles= x
First you normalize 3x+4y=12 into y = -3/4 x + 3 (dividing by 4).
Then you observe that the slope of the line is -3/4 (it's always the factor with the x). A perpendicular line has the reciprocal slope. Reciprocal means inverted and negated. So -3/4 becomes +4/3.
The equation will thus look like y = 4/3 x + b. To find b, we fill in the given x intercept (0,2), (we get 2 = 4/3 * 0 + b). With x=0, b must be 2.
So the equation is: y = 4/3 x + 2
2(100)2
200x2
400
Is the answer
