What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,7) and is perpendicular to the line x-6y=42 ?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,7) and is perpendicular to the line x-6y=42 is

$6x+y=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2 , 7)

To Find:

Equation of Line that passes through the point (-2,7) and is perpendicular to the line x-6y=42=?

Solution:

$x-6y=42$ ..................Given

which can be written as

$y=mx+c$

Where m is the slope of the line

∴ $y=\dfrac{x}{6}-7$

On Comparing we get

$Slope = m = \dfrac{1}{6}$

The Required line is Perpendicular to the above line.

So,

Product of slopes = - 1

$m\times m_{1}=-1\\Substituting\ m\\ \dfrac{1}{6} m_{1}=-1\\\\m_{1}=-6$

Slope of the required line is -6

Equation of a line passing through a points A( x₁ , y₁) and having slope m is given by the formula,

i.e equation in point - slope form

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Now on substituting the slope and point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2, 7) and slope = -6 we get

$(y-7)=-6(x--2)=-6(x+2)=-6x-12\\\\\therefore 6x+y=-5.......is\ the required\ equation\ of\ the\ line$

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,7) and is perpendicular to the line x-6y=42 is

$6x+y=-5$

Kendra earns $70 per week mowing lawns. She saves 60% of the money she earns each week. How many weeks will it take Kendra to sa

katrin [286]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find how much money she saves a week by multiplying the decimal form of 60% and $70.

To get the decimal form of a percent you have to move the decimal to the left twice, like this: 60 ---> .60

Now that we have the decimal form of the percent we can multiply it by the 70 to find how much she saves a week:

(70)(.6) = 42

Therefore, Kendra saves $42 each week.

To find how many weeks it will take Kendra to buy the game system you divide $210 by the $42. Like this:

(210)/(42) = 5

All in all, it will take Kendra 5 weeks to save enough money to buy a game system that costs $210.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 in. The base is 3 times the height. Find the area of the rectangle

Dovator [93]

Answer:

243 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the<em> base and height </em>of the rectangle

We have two conditions:

(1) 2b+ 2h = 72 in

(2) b = 3h Substitute in (1)

2(3h) + 2h = 72 Remove parentheses

6h + 2h = 72 Combine like terms

8h = 72 Divide by 6

h = 9 in Substitute in(2)

b = 3 × 9

b = 27 in

Step 2. Calculate the area of the rectangle

A = bh

A = 27 × 9

A = 243 in²

The area of the rectangle is 243 in².

Who is faster The Flash or Quicksilver?<br><br><br><br> I want a source to back up your answer

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The flash.

Step-by-step explanation:

He used to max out at Mach 1. Since crossover events are exceedingly rare, it is safe to assume that if you were comparing their speeds, the Flash is <u><em>consistently</em></u> faster than Quicksilver, though operationally speaking both could be consider comparable since their feats tend to be done at the same overall speed.
