To answer this you must know the rule for the slopes of perpendicular lines. the rule is that if 2 lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal.
the word opposite means that if the slope of one is positive, then the other is negative. And vice versa.
the word reciprocal means that you divide 1 by whatever the slope is. So the reciprocal of x is 1/x.
so let's say we have a slope of -2 and what to find a line perpendicular. We need to find the opposite reciprocal. the opposite of -2 is 2. And the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. So perpendicular line would have slope of 1/2
now to answer yours.
We know that y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y intercept.
so:
y - 3 = 4 (x + 2)
y = 4x + 11
so m = 4. the slope is 4.
the opposite of 4 is - 4 and the reciprocal of - 4 is - 1/4. So that is out new slope of perpendicular line.
We know that given a point we can use:
(y - y1) = m (x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point
We are given point (- 5, 7) and we know m = - 1/4. so:
y - (7) = - 1/4(x - (- 5))
y - 7 = - 1/4(x + 5)
y - 7 =- 1/4x - 5/4
y = - 1/4x + 23/4
this should be equAtion. We can check by seeing if slopes are opposite reciprocal and by plugging in point.
- 1/4 is opposite reciprocal of 4.
plug in point
7 = - 1/4 (- 5) + 23/4
7 = 5/4 + 23/4
7 = 7
this is correct
Answer:
9^4 is what you’re looking for right?
Step-by-step explanation:
If the pieces are cut in the ratio <span>3:5:7</span>, the proportion of each piece to the whole (represented by <span>3+5+7=15</span>) is:
<span><span>3/15</span>:<span>5/15</span>:<span>7/15</span></span>
First, convert the inches to feet also:
1 foot equals to 12 inches.
So 9 inches <span>=<span>9/12</span>×1=0.75</span> feet.
Thus, 33 feet and 9 inches equal <span>33+0.75=33.75</span> feet.
So,
<span>P=<span>3/15</span>×33.75=6.75</span> feet.
<span>Q=<span>5/15</span>×33.75=11.25</span> feet.
<span>R=<span>7/15</span>×33.75=15.75</span> feet.
You can check that these answers are correct by adding up the different pieces: <span>6.75+11.25+15.75=<span>33.75</span></span>
Answer:
y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=42. We know that x plus y equals 42.
x=2y . We also know that x equals twice y.
2y+y=42. Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.
y=14. 3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)
x+14=42. Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.
x=28. Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.
When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.
Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)
Answer:
11.820 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 52° as the base angle. The side opposite is the height up the building where the top of the ladder rests. So, you have the relation ...
sin(52°) = height/(15 ft)
Multiplying by the denominator gives you ...
height = (15 ft)·sin(52°) ≈ 11.820 ft
Hope this helps
