Write an equation of the line that passes through point p and is perpendicular to the line with the given equation

1 answer:

5 0

Do you have the specific point??

Remember, if 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are opposite reciprocals. So if one line has a slope of 4, the other line should have a slope of -1/4.

Hopefully your equation is in y=mx+b form. If so,

make sure you know slope (m) and the y-intercept. After this is done, plug in the points from p for y and x, and make sure to turn m into -1/m. Solve for b, and your new equation should be y=(new slope)x+(new y-intercept)

A new roll of wrapping paper has 6 5/8 yards of paper. Drew used 2 1/6 yards from the roll to wrap a gift. Which equation most c

Sedbober [7]

First you have to make both fractions have the same denominator, so you can multiply each fraction by the others denominator.

5/8
To
(5*6)/(8*6)

And

1/6
To
(1*8)/(6*8)

Now it's 6 30/48 - 2 8/48

= 4 22/48

Now reduce to

= 4 11/24

So, 4 11/24 is the answer
