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!

Solve each system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$x=33\\y=-41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$2x+y=25\hspace{5}(1)\\and\\4x+3y=9\hspace{5}(2)$

We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 2

$2*(1)\equiv\hspace{5}4x+2y=50$

Now subtract (2) from 2*(1) in order to eliminate x:

$2*(1)-(2)\\4x-4x+2y-3y=50-9\\-y=41$

Solving for y:

Multiplying both sides by -1

$y=-41$

Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)

$2x-41=25$

Solving for x:

add 41 to both sides:

$2x=66$

Multiply both sides by 1/2:

$x=\frac{66}{2} =33$

1+sin^2 x = 2-cos^2 x

Alinara [238K]

1+sin²x=2-cos²x
Remenber: sin²x+cos²x=1 ⇒sin²x=1-cos²x

1+sin²x=1+(1-cos²x)=2-cos² x (this is true)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

1a. 8

1b. AB & BC

1c. AC

2. $\sqrt{52}$ miles

3. NO

Step-by-step explanation:

1a. AC is your hypotenuse which is C² and BC is B², so we plug it in the equation.

A²+6²=10²

A²+36=100

A²=64

A= $\sqrt{64}$

A=8

1b. Legs are the two shorter sides, AB & BC, which are 6 & 8 respectively.

1c. The hypotenuse is the longest side AC

2. Make lines that make the graph for a triangle with a line. My graph is linked below. Then counts the points, AC=6, BC=4, then use the pythagorean therom.

6²+4²=X²

36+16=52

$\sqrt{52}$ =X

3. 15²+17²=19²

514=361

not possible

so it is not a right triangle
