Answer:
2x + y = -5 (which is Answer 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible answer choices are all versions of the standard equation of a straight line: Ax + By + C = 0. If A and B are both positive, as they are here, then the slope is negative and has the form m = -A/B. Only the first answer choice passes here: with +2x and +1y, the slope is -2. This automatically eliminates the other possibilities.
Looking at the first answer choice, we see that A must be 2 and B must be 1
so that the slope is m = -2. Writing out this equation: Ax + By + C = 0.
Replace A with 2 and B with 1: 2x + y + C = 0.
Finally, replace x with -1 and y with -3: 2(-1) + (-3) + C = 0.
Solving this for C, we get -2 - 3 + C = 0, or -5 + C = 0, or C = 5.
We end up with 2x + y = -5 (which is Answer 1).
Answer:
12 cm = 21.62 miles
6 cm = 11.04 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of 
and simplify.
We know 
. We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write 
and 
We set them equal.
and
To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
and
K= -3
3y = x+6 can be rewritten as y = 1/3x + 2
a perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope
so instead of 1/3 it would be -3
therefore. k must equal -3 to be perpendicular to 3y = x+6
The answer is no solution.
