Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. So, 81+x^2=1681. ( Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2). x^2=1600. x=40.
Answer: y=-(1/8)x+(21/2)
Explanation:
The new equation’s slope needs to be perpendicular to y=8x-1
To get the new slope, we take the negative reciprocal of the slope from above
8 —> -1/8
Now we have y=-(1/8)x+b but it needs to pass through (4,10), so we need to find the value of b that makes this possible.
Since (4,10) is in the form of (x,y) we can plug in these values into the new equation to solve for b:
y=-(1/8)x+b
10=-(1/8)4+b
10=(-1/2)+b
b=(21/2)
Now put b back into the new equation
y=-(1/8)x+b
y=-(1/8)x+(21/2)
