The average time a human being can hold their breath underwater is 1 minute. A hippo can hold its breath underwater for at least 5 times as long as a human. Write an inequality that represents how long a hippo can hold its breath underwater.

Average breath hold time by hippo under water ≥ 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Average time by human = 1 minute

Average time by hippo = ≥ 5 times human

Since average human breath hold time = 1 minute

Average breath hold time by hippo = 5 * 1 minute

Average breath hold time by hippo under water ≥ 5 minutes

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
