9. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to 3x – 4y = 24 ?

1 answer:

6 0

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other slope is -b/a
the given line 3x-4y=24, 4y=3x-24, y=3/4x-6 has a slope of 3/4, so the slope of the perpendicular line has a slope of -4/3
y=(-4/3)x+b, b can be any number.

Write the equation for Chelsea's graph in

xeze [42]

Answer:

$y=-4x+16$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the y-intercept is 16.

The line passes through (-2,24) and (2,8). So, slope of line is

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope=\dfrac{8-24}{2-(-2)}$

$Slope=\dfrac{-16}{4}$

$Slope=-4$

Slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Substitute m=-4 and b=16 in the above equation.

$y=(-4)x+(16)$

$y=-4x+16$

Therefore, the required equation is $y=-4x+16$ .

mina [271]

Answer:

C) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I converted the equation into slope-intercept form and then identified the y-intercept.

$4x+2y=12\\\\4x-4x+2y=12-4x\\\\2y=12-4x\\\\\frac{2y=12-4x}{2}\\\\ y=6-2x\\\\y=-2x+6\\\\y=-2x+\boxed{6}$

C should be the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

X=-4 you have to substitue first so you put the equation where the X is and then you would distribute and then add the numbers that have the common exponent
