What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is ax+by=c?

The perpendicular line will have a slope of b/a.

To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.

ax + by = c ----> subtract ax

by = -ax + c ----> divide by b

y = -a/bx + c/b.

So we know the slope of this equation to be -a/b. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of b/a.

Answer: It represents the area of the two circular sides ("lids")

Explanation:

Imagine you made a cylinder out of 3 pieces of paper. The cylinder can be decomposed into two circular shapes (radius r) and one rectangular piece with two side lengths: one is "h", the other has to be long enough to go around each of the disks, so it has to be 2*pi*r long.

So the term 2*pi*r*h is the area of the rectangular piece and pi*r^2 is the area of each of the "lids" Since there are two of those, the term 2*pi*r^2 represents the area of the bottom and top lids.

When the expression 10^2021 − 2021 is evaluated, the result is a very large number.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

18,176

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out an easier thing to do: 1000 - 2021 = 9,797.

Therefore, our answer will be like 9999999999999999999999997979. Out of all of these digits, there are only 2 that arent nines. We know the amount of digits since it's 10^2021 power. We will have one less since we are subtracting 2021. Therefore, 2020 digits in total. Now we know of those 2020 digits, 2 of them are 7, therefore 2018 of them are 9s. That means do 2018(9) + 2(7) = 14 + 18,162 =  18,176.

How would you describe the difference between the graphs of f(x) = x^2 +4 and<br> g(y) - y^2 +4?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x)=x^2+4 is a positive upwards opening parabola with the vertex at (0, 4), whereas

the function g(y)=y^2+4 is a positive rightwards opening parabola (sideways parabola) with the vertex at (4, 0). This means that answer to this is that g(y) is reflected over the x axis whereas f(x) is reflected over the y axis.
