What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5?

Mathematics

Pavel [41]2 years ago

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5 will be -1/8.

<h3>What is the slope of perpendicular lines?</h3>

Suppose that first straight line has slope 's'

Let another straight line be perpendicular to this first line.

Let its slope be 'a'

Then due to them being perpendicular, they have their slopes' multiplication as -1

or

s x a = -1

s = -1/ a

Slope of line y = 8x + 5

s = 8

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5

8 x a = -1

a = -1/8

Thus, the slope is -1/8.

Explain linear function. Provide a real-world example of linear function, explain the rate of change. Include reference(s) in yo
sveticcg [70]

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A linear function : Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line.

y = f(x) = a + bx  , A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable. The independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y.  a is the constant term or the y intercept. It is the value of the dependent variable when x = 0 .  b is the coefficient of the independent variable.

  • rate of change: Ratio between two related quantities that are changing.
  • slope: The ratio of the vertical and horizontal distances between two points on a line; zero if the line is horizontal, undefined if it is vertical.

In real life, we know that voltage is directly proportional to current , having resistance as a proportionality constant or more precisely slope of line :

voltage = resistance(current) , slope remains constant but , voltage is directly proportional to current .

Please help me I been struggling with these two questions
Nezavi [6.7K]

14> Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height

= (3+1/4) * (2) *(1 + 1/2) ft^3

=(13/4)*2*(3/2) = 39/4 = 9 3/4 ft^3 [....Option D....]

15> We have the following coordinates for vertices of our rectangle:

( - 10, 2) (15, 2)  (15, 5) (-10, 5)

You might want to graph it if this helps. But the gist is that opposite sides of rectangles are the same. So freezing either the x and y coordinate and subtracting from the y coordinate and x coordinates we get:

5 and 3. 5>3 therefore 5 is the answer.[ Option A ]

Hope this helped:)

Write the equation of the line that passes<br> through the point (-6, 1) and has a slope<br> of 1/2
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

y = <u>x</u> + 2

2

i think this is helpful

Step-by-step explanation:

equation= <u>y</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u> </u> = <u>1</u>

x - -6 2

then you close multiplication

= 2(y -1)= 1(x - -6)

2y - 2 = x - -6

you make Y as a subject

2y = x- -6 + 2

2y = x + 4

then you divide by 2 on both sides

<u>2</u><u>y</u> = <u>x</u> + <u>4</u>

2 2 2

y = <u>x</u> + 2

2

ห - 14W - 32<br> I’m factoring polynomials please help
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = -14

Product = - 32

So, the factors = -16 , 2

When we add -16 +2 = -12 and when we multiply it is -32

w⁴ - 14w² - 32 =  w⁴ - 16w² + 2w² - 16 * 2

                      = w²(w² - 16) + 2(w² - 16)

                      = (w² - 16)(w² + 2)

                      = (w² - 4²)(w² + 2)

                      = (w + 4)(w - 4)(w² + 2)
