First find the slope of the given line:
4x +2y = 1
Subtract 4x from each side:
2y = -4x + 1
Divide both sides by 2:
y = -2x +1/2
The slope is -2.
Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.
The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2
Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:
y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)
Simplify:
y - 3 = x/2 +2
Add 3 to each side:
y = x/2 + 5
Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5
The answer is D.
Answer:
can't see the problem my guy
The equation computed shows that the number of minutes that it will take to process fifteen passengers is 11.11 minutes.
<h3>How to solve the equation</h3>
Since Katrina averages fifteen passengers every twenty minutes and Stefon also works for the airline and averages fifteen passengers every twenty-five minutes, this can be represented this:
1/x = 1/20 + 1/25
1/x = 9/100
9x = 100
Divide through by 9
x = 100/9
x = 11.11 minutes
