Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.
y= -3x+b
Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.
2= -3(4)+b
2= -12+b
b=14
Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.
y= -3x+14
Answer:
a) = 4/9 b) -20/21
c) -77/6 d) 39/22
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
nearest hundredth 8.944
Step-by-step explanation:
d = √((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)
Step by step procedure:
Find the difference between coordinates:
(x2-x1) = (-9 - -1) = -8
(y2-y1) = (2 - -2) = 4
Square the results and sum them up:
(-8)2 + (4)2 = 64 + 16 = 80
Now Find the square root and that's your result:
Exact solution: √80 = 4√5
Approximate solution: 8.944
Four eighths is less than 5/6
