The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

<h3>What is the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope values of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

Given that the line is perpendicular to y = 4/5x+23, the slope of y = 4/5x+23 is 4/5. Negative reciprocal of 4/5 is -5/4.

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would have a slope (m) of -5/4.

Plug in m = -5/4 and (x, y) = (-40, 20) into y = mx + b to find b:

20 = -5/4(-40) + b

20 = 50 + b

20 - 50 = b

b = -30

Substitute m = -5/4 and b = -30 into y = mx + b:

y = -5/4x - 30

The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

Find the nonpermissible replacement for a in this expression 7/6a
vredina [299]
The correct answer for the exercise shown above is:

 zero (0)

 The explanation is shown below:

 1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:

 7/6a

 2. By definition, <span>the nonpermissible replacement for a is the value that make the denominator equal to zero.

 3. Keeping this on mind, you have:

 7/6a=7/6(0)=7/0

 Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: zero (a=0).

A rectangle has vertices (8,6), (4, 6),
VikaD [51]

Answer:

  the dilated coordinates are (12, 9), (6, 9), (12, -6), (6, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation factor multiplies each coordinate value when the center is the origin.

__

  (8, 6) ⇒ 1.5(8, 6) = (12, 9)

  (4, 6) ⇒ 1.5(4, 6) = (6, 9)

  (8, -4) ⇒ 1.5(8, -4) = (12, -6)

  (4, -4) ⇒ 1.5(4, -4) = (6, -6)
