The equation of the perpendicular line is y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

The equation is given as

y = 7x + 14

Also, from the question

The point is given as

Point = (3, -7)

The equation of a line can be represented as

y = mx + c

Where

Slope = m

By comparing the equations, we have the following

m = 7

This means that the slope of y = 7x + 14  is 7

So, we have

m = 7

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals

This means that the slope of the other line is -1/7

The equation of the perpendicular lines is then calculated as

y = m(x - x₁) +y₁

Where

m = -1/7

(x₁, y₁) = (3, -7)

So, we have

y = -1/7(x - 3) - 7

Evaluate

y = -1/7(x - 3) - 7

Add 7 to both sides

y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

Hence, the perpendicular line has an equation of y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side and the length of the hypotenuse. In equation form:

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the sun

The answer to this question is true. The equation (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2 represents a circle with a center at (h,k). Taking (h,k) = (-2,2) and r = 3 results in (x+2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9. A negative subtracted by a negative is a positive.

How to find the missing measurements ?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

CD = 10

AD = 22

EC = 13

AC = 26

∠CAD = 23°

∠BAC = 47°

∠ADC  =110°

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of opposite parallel lines.

Which mean in ABCD parallelogram given AB is parallel to DC and BC is parallel to AD.

Now lets find the values required,

CD = AB (Opposite sides are equal in length)

But, AB= 10 (given) therefore CD = 10.

AD = BC (Opposite sides are equal in length)

But, BC= 22 (given) therefore AD = 22.

EC = AE (Diagonals bisect each other)

But, AE= 13 (given) therefore EC = 13

AC = AE + EC

= 13+13

AC =26

∠CAD = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles are equal)

But, ∠BCA = 23° therefore, ∠CAD = 23°

∠BAC = ∠ACD (Alternate interior angles are equal)

But, ∠ACD = 47° therefore, ∠BAC = 47°

∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° (Consecutive interior angles)

But,  ∠BCD = 23°+47°=70°

∠ADC = 180°- ∠BCD

           =180°-70°

∠ADC  =110°

Using the given diagram, solve for x. Plz also list your steps!!
harkovskaia [24]
If a triangle equals 180, than what you want to do is add all of the numbers together. 33+21+28= 82.

After that what you want to do is subtract that by the total of the triangle "180"

180-82=98.

I believe 98 is the answer
