The slope of a line is –4 and its y-intercept is (0, 4). What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first lin

e and passes through (–8, 2)?

The first equation is y = -4x + 4

so I think, you make the slope positive.

y = 4x + c

2= 4(-8) + c
2 = -32 + c
34 = c

y = 4x + 34

Terry needs to carry a pole that

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, ( $a^2+b^2=c^2$ ) we can measure the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Since the doorway is a rectangle, and a rectangle cut diagonally is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to measure the diagonal width of the doorway.

Plug in the values of the length and width of the door for a and b. The c value will represent the diagonal width of the doorway:

$6^2+9^2=c^2$

$36+81=c^2$

$117=c^2$

Since 117 is equal to the value of c multiplied by c, we must find the square root of 117 to find the value of c.

$\sqrt{117} =10.8$

$10.8=c$

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole, measuring 10 feet.

What two numbers add to 13 but multiply to negative 12?

Phoenix [80]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...

x(13 -x) = -12

x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify

x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square

(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25

x -6.5 = √54.25

x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313

and the other number is ...

13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313

The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
