Blake plays football. last year, he averaged 280 passing yards per game during his team's 9-game season. the school record for total passing yards in a season is 3, 114 yards. if blake increases his passing yards per game by 25% this year, how close will he come to breaking the record?

a)he will break the record by 36 yards b)he will break the record by 29 yards c)he will be 369 yards close to breaking the record d) he will be 531 yards short to breaking the record

a)he will break the record by 36 yards b)he will break the record by 29 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lake plays football. Last year, he averaged 280 passing yards per game during his team's 9-game season

Hence for  9 games or in the season his average would be

= yards

The total passing yards is fixed by school as

If Bake increases by 25% his new score after improvement would be

 yards

Thus he exceeds the target by

Hence Option A is correct.

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)
