What is number 2,3,4,5

Question 1: Find the equation of the line through point (5,4) and perpendicular to y=−43x−2. Use a forward slash (i.e. "/") for

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Question 1: y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: A line perpendicular to another line would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other line. If the slope of the first line is -4/3, the slope of a line perpendicular to the first would have a slope of 3/4.

Since the line goes through (5, 4), we can just put the points into the equation, y = 3/4x + b.

4 = 3/4(5) + b

b + 15/4 = 4

b = 16/4 - 15/4

b = 1/4

So, the equation of the line is y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: 5x + 6y = -6

6y = -5x - 6

y = -5/6x - 1

As stated before, a line perpendicular to another will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other. So, the slope of the other line is 6/5.

The line goes through (-2, -1), so we can put the points into the equation, y = 6/5x + b.

-1 = 6/5(-2) + b

b - 12/5 = -5/5

b = -5/5 + 12/5

b = 7/5

So, the equation of the line is y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Hope this helps!

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2cm more than x and width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. Round to the n

ra1l [238]

Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.

Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8

w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7

l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.
If this is the best answer you get, could you consider a Brainly? I need 2 of them to move up.

I'm pretty sure its B but I would double check before you put the answer in :)

A scientist has a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution. How many fluid ounces of each concentration

algol [13]

Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture

and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.

Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.

So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)

And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.

So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25

$(a \times \frac{2}{100})+(b \times \frac{5}{100})= 25 \times \frac{3.2}{100}$

$(0.02a)+(0.05b)= 0.8$

Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get

$2a+5b=80$ (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get

$2(25-b)+5b=80$

$50-2b+5b=80$

$50+3b=80$

$3b=30$

$b=10$

Since, a=25-b

a= 25-10

a=15.

So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.

The sum of two numbers is x. If one of the numbers is 12, what is the other ?

Vlad1618 [11]

If the sum of two numbers is x

Then the equation is like this:

a+b = x

Then it says one of the number is 12. Change either a or b into 12

12 + b =x

If we want to find the other number, we need the make it into the subject

b = x - 12

Hope that help.
