b = 1/6

Explanation:

3x-y=4 ...1st equation

Rewriting in slope- intercept form:

y = 3x - 4

2y+4bx=1

Rewriting in slope- intercept form:

2y = -4bx + 1

y = -4bx/2 + 1/2

Equation of line: y = mx + c

where m = slope, c = intercept

For a line to be perpendicular to another, the slope of one will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of another.

Slope of the 1st equation = 3

m = 3

reciprocal of 3 = 1/3

negative reciprocal of 3 = -1/3

Slope of the 2nd equation = -4b/2

we equate both slope:

negative reciprocal of 3 = -4b/2

-1/3 = -4b/2

cross multiply:

-1(2) = 3(-4b)

-2 = -12b

Divide both sides by -12:

-2/-12 = -12b/-12

b = 1/6

Hence, the value of b that makes the lines perpendicular is 1/6

Lucia checked her online bank statement which shows the current balance is $412.76, pending withdrawals are $481.23, and pending
Inessa05 [86]

Considering the withdraws and credits, Lucia's current available balance is of $65.53.

<h3>How do we find a balance?</h3>

It is given by the sum of the money that the people has with the pending credits, and subtracted by the pending withdraws.

In this problem, we have that:

  • Lucia has $412.76, with pending credits of $134.00.
  • She has pending withdraws of $481.23.

Hence, her avaiable balance is given by:

412.76 + 134 - 481.23 = $65.53.

so we can substitute it into the second formula

What is the value of?
katrin [286]

Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles of a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees, you know that the third angle of the triangle on the left would be 180 - 60 - 65 = 55 degrees. Then, since the angles on a straight line have to add up to 180 degrees you could find one of the two missing angles of the second triangle by doing

180 - 55 - 50 = 75.

Then, you have 2 out of the 3 angles of the triangle on the right and you can find the third, the ?, by doing 180 - 75 - 35 = 70 degrees
