Remark
This is costing you an awful lot of points, but it is a little hard to read. If I'm not interpreting it correctly, leave some sort of note below my answer.

Question One
In the first question you want a line that is parallel to x = 4 and goes through the point (-7,3). If I'm reading this correctly then the line you want is x = -7. You only need the x value of the given point. I'll put a graph there to show you what it looks like on a grid.  The graph is the left one for this question.

Question Two
Here I think you want the line going through (5,-1) and perpendicular to y = 4x - 7. I will make a graph for that one as well.

Begin with the slope
Two lines are perpendicular to each other if their slopes multiply to - 1
Given slope (m1) = 4
perpendicular slope = m2

Formula
m1 * m2 = - 1
4 * m2 = -1      Divide by 4
m2 = -1/4

So far what you have is
y = (-1/4)x + b

Now use the given point to solve for b
x = 5
y = - 1
b = ??

-1 = (-1/4)*5 + b
-1 = -5/4 + b  Add 5/4 to both sides
-1 + 5/4 + b   Make -1 into -4/4
b = -4/4 + 5/4
b = (-4 + 5)/4
b = 1/4

So the line that you want is
y = (-1/4) x + 1/4

Answers
One:  x = - 7
Two: y = (-1/4)x + 1/4

Note
The right graph is of y = 4x - 7 and y = (-1/4)x + 1/4

a norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. if the perimeter of the window is 25 feet, express the
sp2606 [1]

The area of the window is \frac{25x}{2} -(1 +\frac{\pi}{2} )\frac{x^2}{2}

The shape of the Norman window is described as a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle.

Let 'x' be the width of the window.

Then this width corresponds to the diameter of the semicircle.

That is, radius of the semicircle = x/2

Now given the perimeter of the whole window = 25 ft

This perimeter is equal to the sum of 3 sides of the rectangle and the perimeter of the semicircle.

Perimeter of the semicircle = \frac{2\pi r}{2} = \frac{\pi x}{2} , where r is the radius of the semicircle.

Now let 'y' be the length of the window.

Then sum of three sides of the window = 2y + x

So 2y + x + \frac{\pi x}{2} = 25

Therefore, y =( 25 - x - \frac{\pi x}{2} ) / 2

Area of the window = Area of the semicircle + Area of the rectangle =

 \frac{\pi x^2}{8} +xy = \frac{\pi x^2}{8} + x( 25 - x - \frac{\pi x}{2} ) / 2\\ = \frac{\pi x^2}{8} + (25x - x^2 - \frac{\pi x^2}{2} ) / 2

 So Area of the window = \frac{25x}{2} -(1 +\frac{\pi}{2} )\frac{x^2}{2}

The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 centimeters. The relationship between the length, the width, and the perimeter of the rectang
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The length in centimeters is (24-x) centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we are told that the equation linking the length, width and perimeter is as follows;

2(length) + 2(width) = 48

But in this case, we are told that the width is x centimeters

2(length) + 2(x) = 48

2(length) = 48-2x

length = (48-2x)/2

length = 24 - x
