The Equation of a Line

The slope-intercept form of a line can be written as:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the graph of the line and b is the y-intercept.

In the specific case where the line passes through the origin (0,0), we can find the value of b by substituting x=0 and y=0:

0 = m(0) + b

Solving for b:

b = 0.

Thus, the equation of the line reduces to:

y = mx

We only need to find the value of the slope.

That is where we need the second data. Our line is perpendicular to the line of equation 4x + 3y = 6.

Solving for y:

y=-\frac{4}{3}x+2

The slope of the second line is -4/3.

We must recall that if two lines of slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular, then:

m_1\cdot m_2=-1

Substituting the value of m1 and solving for m2:

\begin{gathered} -\frac{4}{3}\cdot m_2=-1 \\ m_2=\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}

The slope of our line is 3/4 and the required equation is:

y=\frac{3}{4}x

From this last equation, we need to find the general form of the line.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

4y = 3x

Subtract 3x on both sides:

4y - 3x = 0

Reorder:

-3x + 4y = 0

19%  
In the division, 60% are women and 100%-60% = 40% are men. And for this project, we have 15% of the women, or 15%*60% = 9% of the personal and 25% of the men or 25% * 40% = 10% of the personal working on the project. Therefore 9% + 10% = 19% of the division is working on the project.
