Patrick drives from P to Q at an average speed of 40 mph . His drive back from Q to P is at an average speed of 45 mph and takes two minutes less. How far, in miles, is it from P to Q?

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

answer: the answer to this problem is 2x and 2-x both have x as well as 2

step-by-step explanation: first you have to see what is the closest thing they have similar second you note it example 4x and 4+x they both have x and 4
