Answer:
C ) y + 3 = 1/4 ( x + 4 )
Explanation:
Given that you did not include the "given line", I can help you by explaning how to solve this kind of problems, step by step.
The procedure is based of the property of perpendicular lines: the product of the slopes of perpedicular lines is negative 1.
If you call m1, the slope of a line and m2 the slope of a perpendicular line, then:
m1 * m2 = - 1, and you can solve for either m1 or m2:
m1 = - (1 / m2)
m2 = - (1 / m1).
With that this is the procedure:
1) find the slope of the "given line". Name it m1.
2) find the slope of the perpendicular line:
m2 = - (1 / m1).
3) Use the equation of the line with the point (x1,y1) and slope m2
y - y1
-------- = m2
x - x1
4) In this case the point is (-4, - 3)=> x1 = - 4, y1 = - 3
=>
y - (-3)
---------= m2
x - (-4)
=> y + 3 = m2 * (x + 4)
=> y = m2*x + m2 * 4 - 3
Which is the point-slope form. You only have to replace m2 with the slope value of the perpendicular line, which I already explained that you find as m2 = (-1/m1).
Taking that the other line has m1 = - 4 so m2 = 1/4
y = (1/4)x + (1/4) * 4 - 3
y = (1/4) (x +4) - 3
y + 3 = (1/4) (x + 4) and answer is:
C ) y + 3 = 1/4 ( x + 4 )
3*10 = 10+5*s
30 = 10+5s
20 = 5s
s = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
4x+12y=72
The equation of a line can written as
y=mx+c
Where m is the slope
And c is the intercept on y axis
Then, we need to write the equation given in the form of equation of a line (y=mx+c), by making y subject of the formula
4x+12y=72
12y=-4x+72
Divide through by 12
y=-4x/12 + 72/12
y=-⅓x+6
Then, comparing with equation of a line shows that
m=-⅓ and c=6
So we need to get another linen that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-9,6)
The slope of the line perpendicular to another line is given as
m1=-1/m2
Then, m1=-1÷-⅓
Then, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3
Then, m=3
So apply this to equation of the line
y=mx+c
Then, y=3x+c
So to know c, we will insert the point given(-9,6), x=-9 and y=6
y=3x+c
6=3(-9)+c
6=-27+c
Then, c=6+27
c=33
Then, the equation of line becomes
y=3x+33
Answer:
Part A: $6.76
Part B: 135.2 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
33.8/5 = 6.76
27.04(5) = 135.2
