if we take 2100 to be the 100%, what is 273 off of it in percentage?

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 2100 & 100\\ 273& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{2100}{273}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{100}{13}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 100x=1300\implies x=\cfrac{1300}{100}\implies x=13

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-3)(4,−3) and is perpendicular to the line 4x+y=34x+y=3?
zlopas [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

4x+ y= 3

y= -4x + 3

slope = -4

the new slope = 1/4

the equation formula y= mx+b

m = new slope

y = (x/4) + b

From the point given (4,-3)

y = -3. x = 4

-3 = 1 + b

b = -4

the equation =

y =  \frac{1}{4} x - 4

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than three times it’s width. The perimeter is 72 feet. Find the dimensions of a rectangle
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so let’s say x is the length.  Then the width will be 3x-4.  You add them together and multiply by two.  The perimeter is 72 so the equation equala 72.

Equation:

(x+3x-4)*2=72

(4x-4)*2=72

8x-8=72

8x=80

x=10

length:10

width:26

At what point on the curve y = 19 2x is the tangent line perpendicular to the line 20x 4y = 1?
Gennadij [26K]

The points are; (7/2, -1/2).

<h3>What is the given point?</h3>

Now the tangent line is given as;20x 4y = 1. When we rewrite it in the slope intercept form, we have the equation as; y = 1 - 20x/4 or y = 1/4 - 5x.

Then to obtain the slope of the curve we have; y = 19 - 2x

dy/dx = 2

Using the relation;

m1m2 = -1

m2 = -1/2

Hence;

y = 1/4 - 5(-1/2)

y = 1/4 + 5/2

y = 7/2

Thus the points are; (7/2, -1/2)
