You have to write the equation for a line that crosses the point (-4, -7) and is perpendicular to the line

y=-\frac{7}{4}x+4

When you have to determine a line that is perpendicular to a known line, you have to keep in mind that the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the first one.

If for exampla you have two lines, the first one being:

y_1=mx+b

And the second one, that is perpedicular to the one above:

y_2=nx+c

The slope of the second one is the negative inverse of the first one:

n=-\frac{1}{m}

The slope of the given line y=-7/4+4 is m=-7/4

So the slope of the perpendicular line has to ve the inverse negative of -7/4

\begin{gathered} n=-(-\frac{4}{7}) \\ n=\frac{4}{7} \end{gathered}

Considering it has to pass through the point (-4,-7) and that we already determined its slope, you can unse the point slope formula to determine the equation of the perpendicular line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

replace with the coordinates of the point and the slope and calculate:

\begin{gathered} y-(-7)=\frac{4}{7}(x-(-4)) \\ y+7=\frac{4}{7}(x+4) \\ y+7=\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{16}{7} \end{gathered}

Subtract 7 to both sides of the equation to write it in slope-intercept form:

\begin{gathered} y+7-7=\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{16}{7}-7 \\ y=\frac{4}{7}x-\frac{33}{7} \end{gathered}

Now you can graph both lines

MArishka [77]

Answer:

3.1*10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

31 billion would be written like that because... there are 9 0's left, and that goes up to 10 because i turned 31 to 3.1 not 31, so that value after a decimal point adds 1

who does the number, of zeros in the product of 8 and 5000 compara to the number of zeros in the factors ? explain.
mezya [45]
If one of the numbers we multiply (factors) has zeros at the end, and the other isn't a fraction: all those zeros will stay in the product.

But there might be additional zeros if the other numbers  in the factors (the numbers which aren't 0) mupliply  to  "end" in zero and this is the case here:

8*5=40.

so the product will be 40 and the zeros of the 5000:

40 000

the number of zeros in the product will be bigger than the number of zeros in the factors if the non-zero parts of the fractions multiply to a number with 0 at the end.
