So the slope of the first line is 4/3. If this line is perpendicular, then you have to flip it and switch the sign (flip it n switch it (how I remember it)). So the slope of the new line is -3/4.
Then you have to plug in the point you're given and the new slope. Use y=mx+b format.
-1=-3/4*-4+b
Then solve for b.
-3/4*-4 is 3.
-1=3+b
Subtract 3 from each side.
-4=b.
So now you have the y-intercept and slope. All you have to do is plug it in.
y=-3/4x + -4 or y=-3/4 - 4
There's your answer!

Parabola A can be represented using the equation (x + 3)2 = y, while Line B can be represented using the equation y = mx + 9. Is

KiRa [710]

The 1st choice is the correct one.

Isabel is correct because the y-intercept of Line B is (0, 9) and the value of y when x = 0 in Parabola A is 9.

The seats at a local baseball stadium are arranged so that each row has five more seats than the row below it. If there are four

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Thus the last row has 119 seats.

The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of seats in each row make an arithmetic series. We will use arithmetic equation to find the number of seats in last row:

An = a1+ (n-1)d

An = 4+(24-1)5

An = 4 + (23)(5)

An = 4 + 115

An = 119

Thus the last row has 119 seats.

Now to find the sum of seats we will apply the formula:

Sn = n(a1 + an)/2

Sn = 24(4+119)/2

Sn = 24(123) /2

Sn = 1476 .....

The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476....

Which of the sets of equations represent the two lines graphed?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

B) y = x + 2 and y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of a straight line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' be

$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$

The line with positive slope has x-intercept a=-2 and y-intercept b=2.

Its equation is:

$\frac{x}{ - 2} + \frac{y}{2} = 1$

Multiply through by 2

$- x + y = 2$

Solve for y,

$\boxed {y = x + 2}$

For the line with a negative slope,

the x-intercept is a=-4 and the y-intercept is b=-4

Its equation is

$\frac{x}{ - 4} + \frac{y}{ - 4} = 1$

Multiply through by -4

$x + y = - 4$

Solve for y

$\boxed {y = - x - 4}$
