Answer:

y+3=-4(x-5)

Explanation:

Part A

Given the line:

y-1=\frac{1}{4}(x-2)

We want to find the equation of a perpendicular line that passes through the point (5,-3),

First, determine the slope of the perpendicular line.

Comparing the given line with the slope-point form:

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ \implies\text{Slope},m=\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

By definition, two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular line = n

\begin{gathered} \implies\frac{1}{4}n=-1 \\ n=-4 \end{gathered}

Thus, using a slope of -4 and a point (5,-3), we find the equation of the line.

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-(-3)=-4(x-5) \\ y+3=-4(x-5) \end{gathered}

The equation of the perpendicular line in the slope-point form is:

y+3=-4(x-5)

Part B

In order to graph the line, first, find two points on the line.

When x=0

\begin{gathered} y+3=-4(0-5) \\ y+3=20 \\ y=20-3=17 \\ \implies(0,17) \end{gathered}

When y=1

\begin{gathered} 1+3=-4(x-5) \\ 4=-4(x-5) \\ \frac{4}{-4}=x-5 \\ -1=x-5 \\ x=5-1=4 \\ \implies(4,1) \end{gathered}

Join the points (0,17) and (4,1) as shown in the graph below:

Hello Please Find The Answer To This Question (easy)
irina [24]

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -5/2 x + 1 and passing through (10, 3) will be y = 2/5 x + 1.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

The equation of the perpendicular line will be given as

y = mx + c

The given equation is y = -5/2 x + 1.

The slope of the line is -5/2.

Then the product of the slope of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.

-5/2 × m = - 1

m = 2/5

Then the equation will be

y = 2/5 x + c

Then the equation is passing through (10, 3). Then we have

3 = 2/5 × 10 + c

3 = 2 + c

c = 1

Then the equation is y = 2/5 x + 1.

More about the linear system link is given below.

General term for -13, -11, -9, -7
timurjin [86]

The general term for the arithmetic sequence; -13, -11, -9, -7 is Tn = -15 - 2n.

<h3>Arithmetic progression</h3>

-13, -11, -9, -7

  • First term, a = -13
  • Second term = -11

Common difference, d = Second term - first term

= -11 - (-13)

= -11 + 13

= 2

Therefore,

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where,

  • n = number of terms

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

= -13 + (n - 1)2

= -13 - 2n - 2

Tn = -15 - 2n

So therefore, the general term for the arithmetic sequence; -13, -11, -9, -7 is Tn = -15 - 2n.
