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

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)

1.) There are 6 numbers you can roll on a standard dice: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
There are 3 odd and 3 even. Keep in mind that an odd plus an odd will always be even and an even plus an even will always equal an even. Only if you add an odd and an even will you get an odd.

The chances of getting an even sum are much higher which is why you should choose even.

3.) The formula for finding the area of an equilateral triangle is (<span>√3)/4(a^2) where a is just a side length.

Because the perimeter is 12 and each side of an equilateral triangle is equal, we can divide 12 by 3 sides and get each side is 4. Plug in 4 for a.

</span>(√3)/4(4^2) = (√3)/4(16)

Because (√3)/4 = (1 x √3)/4, 
 (√3)/4(16) is equal to (16 x √3)/4

You have to divide (16 x √3) by 4. 16/4 = 4, and you only need to divide once to.  We get 4√3 as the final answer.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-3, 7) and (9,-1)? oy--3x+5 o y=-x-7 o y=zx-7 oy - 12 2x+5​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x + 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation we must first find the slope of the line.

So the slope of the line using points (-3, 7) and (9,-1) is

<h3>m =  \frac{ - 1 - 7}{9 + 3}  =  -  \frac{8}{12}  =  -  \frac{2}{3}</h3>

Now we use the formula

<h3>y - y1 = m(x - x1)</h3>

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is any of the points given

So the equation of the line using point

( - 3 , 7) and slope - 2/3 is

<h3>y - 7 =  -  \frac{2}{3} (x + 3) \\ y - 7 =  -  \frac{2}{3} x - 2 \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x - 2 + 7</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x + 5</h3>

Hope this helps you

Question 2 help please
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
  • In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures

∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)

∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures

∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)

∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°

∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180

∴ 9x + 9 = 180

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

∴ 9x = 171

→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x

∴ x = 19

→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°

∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees

What is the value of x?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we can first derive the value of one of the angles that make up the triangle.

Notice that there is an angle with a measure of 100°. The angle that makes up the angle of the triangle is called a Vertical Angle. Therefore, if the angle in red is 100°, the vertical angle, or the third angle of the triangle, is 100°.

There are two congruent sides to the triangle, as seen by the congruent lines. This means that both of the other two angles must be equal. Find the value of 'x' by:

180 - 100 = 80. Since the value of one angle was 100°, and the angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can simply subtract to find the sum of the other two angles.

(x + 10) + (x + 10) = 80

2x + 20 = 80

2x = 60

x = 30°.
