Find the equation of the line through (-9,6) that is perpendicular to the line through (7,8),

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler [38]1 year ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume as "equation" we mean the slope-intercept form :

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope of the line (y coordinate change / x coordinate change when going from one point to another on the line). b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

we get the slope by finding the perpendicular slope of the first line.

the slope of the first line when going from (-3, -9) to (7, 8) :

x changes by + 10 (from -3 to +7).

y changes by + 17 (from -9 to +8).

so, that slope is 17/10.

the perpendicular slope is turning the original slope upside-down and flips the sign :

-10/17

so, a = -10/17

now, as we have only the slope and a point of the new line, we can use the point-slope form to stay and then transfer into the slope-intercept form.

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is again the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -6 = -10/17 × (x - -9)

y + 6 = -10/17 × (x + 9) = -10/17 × x - 90/17

y = -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 6 =

= -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 102/17 =

= -10/17 × x - 192/17

so, the equation is (in a maybe nicer way)

y = -1/17 × (10x + 192)

Can someone please help a guy out? and ASAP. i'm really tired and i've been trying to get this done for months but i cannot unde
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

1) On the x-axis, the arm span is plotted. On the y-axis, the height is plotted. It is chosen to be that way because the numbers on that have been assigned on the x-axis increase and decrease in a small amount, while the numbers on the y-axis increase and decrease in a huge amount.

2) (lolz i cant show u my work but i will try my best with explanations even tho ian allat.) So, Using the slope formula, I got a the equation y=x+15. The equation was determined with the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1. The points that were used included (37,40) and (47,50). After finding the slope, I did the best guess for the y-intercept, which is known as b in y=mx+b.

3) The slope of the line represents the time it takes for the arm span and the height. The y-intercept represents the height that the arm span starts developing or gets bigger.

4) It fits perfectly

5) The data is pretty inconsistent.

6)  About 68-69 inches tall

7)About 71-72 inches wide

Which statement is true
loris [4]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation


You must find the common denominator for all of them.  


A is correct. 13 x 2 is 26 and 14 x 2 is 28. Therefore, 13/14 is greater than 25/28.


B is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 9 x 5 is 45. 4/9 is actually less than 21/45.


C is not correct. 5 x 2 is 10 and 6 x 2 is 12. 5/6 is actually less than 11/12.


D is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 5 x 5 is 25. 4/5 is actually less than 8/25.

Does the frequency distribution appear to have a normal distribution using a strict interpretation of the relevant​ criteria?Tem
Xelga [282]

Answer:

B. No, this distribution does not appear to be normal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To observe what shape the data takes, it is best to make a graph. For me, the best type of graph is a histogram.

The first step to take is to calculate the classmark`for each of the given temperature intervals. Each class mark will be the midpoint of each bar.

As you can see in the graphic (2nd attachment) there are no values of frequency for the interval [40-44] and the rest of the data show asymmetry skewed to the left. Just because one of the intervals doesn't have an observed frequency is enough to say that these values do not meet the requirements to have a normal distribution.

The answer is B.

I hope it helps!

Show that ( 2xy4 + 1/ (x + y2) ) dx + ( 4x2 y3 + 2y/ (x + y2) ) dy = 0 is exact, and find the solution. Find c if y(1) = 2.
fredd [130]

\dfrac{\partial\left(2xy^4+\frac1{x+y^2}\right)}{\partial y}=8xy^3-\dfrac{2y}{(x+y^2)^2}

\dfrac{\partial\left(4x^2y^3+\frac{2y}{x+y^2}\right)}{\partial x}=8xy^3-\dfrac{2y}{(x+y^2)^2}

so the ODE is indeed exact and there is a solution of the form F(x,y)=C. We have

\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}=2xy^4+\dfrac1{x+y^2}\implies F(x,y)=x^2y^4+\ln(x+y^2)+f(y)

\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=4x^2y^3+\dfrac{2y}{x+y^2}=4x^2y^3+\dfrac{2y}{x+y^2}+f'(y)

f'(y)=0\implies f(y)=C

\implies F(x,y)=x^2y^3+\ln(x+y^2)=C

With y(1)=2, we have

8+\ln9=C

so

\boxed{x^2y^3+\ln(x+y^2)=8+\ln9}
