Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and is perpendicular to the

For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1; where m1 is the slope of line 1 and m2 is the slope of line 2.
m1 = (-4 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -6/2 = -3
m2 = -1/-3 = 1/3
Equation of the required line is given by: y - 4 = 1/3 (x - (-1))
y - 4 = 1/3 x + 1/3
y = 1/3 x + 1/3 + 4
y = 1/3 x + 13/3

Simplify the exponential problem<br> 7b^5/b^4

Norma-Jean [14]

Solution:

If the <u>numerator</u> and the <u>denominator</u> have like bases in exponents, then the <u>exponents</u> subtract.

$\frac{7b^5}{b^4} = 7b^5^{-4}$
=> $7b$

Thus, 7b is the simplified expression.

Find the length of MP. round to the nearest hundredth.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

<h2>MP ≈ 2.98 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use sine:

$sine=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

We have:

$opposite=MP\\hypotenuse=8.7\ cm\\\alpha=20^o\\\\\sin20^o\approx0.342$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{MP}{8.7}=0.342$

$\dfrac{MP}{8.7}=\dfrac{342}{1,000}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$1,000MP=2975.4$ <em>divide both sides by 1,000</em>

$MP=2.9754\to MP\approx2.98$
