we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product o their slopes is equal to minus one

so

$m1*m2=-1$

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

we have

$14x-7=1\\14x=1+7$

$x=8/14$ -------> $x=4/7$

This line is parallel to the y-axis

so

the perpendicular will be parallel to the x-axis

Step 2

The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line is the y-coordinate of the given point

Point $(-2,4)$

the equation is

$y=4$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$y=4$

A dog trainer is trying to find a triangular area behind his house that encloses 1800 square feet for his dog to run. He has the

aliina [53]

Answer:

$C = (30,500)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Area = 1800ft^2$

$A = (6,0)$

$B = (0,25)$

$C(x,y) = (30,y)$

Required

Determine the coordinates of C

The area of triangle is calculated as thus:

$Area = \frac{|A_x(B_y - C_y) + B_x(C_y - A_y) + C_x(A_y - B_y)|}{2}$

This gives:

$1800= \frac{|6(25 - y) + 0(y - 0) + 30(0 - 25)|}{2}$

$1800= \frac{|6(25 - y) + 30(0- 25)|}{2}$

$1800= \frac{|6(25 - y) + 30(-25)|}{2}$

$1800= \frac{|150 - 6y -750 |}{2}$

$1800= \frac{|150 -750- 6y |}{2}$

$1800= \frac{|-600- 6y |}{2}$

Multiply through by 2

$2 * 1800= |-600- 6y|$

$3600= |-600- 6y|$

$3600= |-(600+ 6y)|$

$3600= 600+ 6y$

Solve for 6y

$6y = 3600 - 600$

$6y = 3000$

Solve for y

$y = 3000/6$

$y = 500$

Hence:

The point is:

$C = (30,500)$

barxatty [35]

Answer:

3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability a turban is lent = total number of turbans lent / total number of hats lent

total number of hats lent = 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 14

6/14

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2= 3/7

The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equation to solve is 2a + b = 15.7.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a=7.85-1/2^b

Step-by-step explanation:

2a=15.7-b Move variable to the right side and change its sign

2a=15.7-b Divide both sides of the equation by 2

a=7.85-1/2^b The final solution for a is
