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)

Find x. Side splitter theorem

professor190 [17]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{8}{8+4}$ = $\frac{x-3}{x}$ , that is

$\frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{x-3}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

12(x - 3) = 8x

12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )

4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 9

Fill in the missing values for the equation below

Firlakuza [10]

Look where the line is touching on the y-axis and that will be your y-value. From there or somewhere on the line use rise over run (rise/run, do not divide). Count how many times it goes up and then count how many times it goes left or right. Make sure to look where the line is going, up or down slanted. If the line is going down, but slanted it will be a negative slope; line going up and slanted is positive.
