In y - y1 = m(x - x1) form, the slope will be in the m position. So in ur equation, which is in that form, the number in the m position (the slope) is 5/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the original slope and change the sign. So with our slope of 5/2.....we flip it making it 2/5....we change the sign making it -2/5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/5
(-7,8)....x = -7 and y = 8
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
8 = -2/5(-7) + b
8 = 14/5 + b
8 - 14/5 = b
40/5 - 14/5 = b
26/5 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2/5x + 26/5 <==

Please let me know ASAP

Answer:

∠ BAC = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of quadrilateral ACDB = 360°

DB and DC are tangents to the circle, thus

∠ DBA = ∠ ACD = 90° ( angle between tangent/ circle at point of contact )

Thus

∠ BAC + 90° + 90° + 100° = 360°

∠ BAC + 280° = 360° ( subtract 280° from both sides )

∠ BAC = 80°

Which is the equation of the parabola?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: y=-\dfrac{1}{8}(x - 2)^2 - 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of a parabola is: y = a(x - h)² + k    where

  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • a=\dfrac{1}{4p}  

NOTE: p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

The vertex (h, k) is (2, -3)

p=-2\quad \implies\quad a = \dfrac{1}{4(-2)}=-\dfrac{1}{8}

Insert those values into the vertex formula to get:

y=-\dfrac{1}{8}(x - 2)^2 - 3

(3×10^​2 ​​ )×(2×10^​−4 ​​ )= ​​
Alik [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets simplify everything in the parenthesis.

(3×10^​2 ​​ )×(2×10^​−4 ​​ )= ​​

In the parenthesis, since exponents come before multiplication in the order of operations, we need to do the exponents first.

(3 • 100) • (2 • 1/10^4)

Now, we can just multiply everything from left to right to get:

6*10^-2

Or

.06
