Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is m_{1} and the gradient of the second line is m_{2} , if the lines are perpendicular, them

m_{1} x m_{2} = -1 , that is

m_{1} = \frac{-1}{m_{2} }

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then m_{1} = 5/4

Which means that m_{2} = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form  to find the equation of the line;

y - y_{1} = m ( x -  y_{1} )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10

mamaluj [8]

The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5 is y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

Given line is perpendicular to  − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

− 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

m = \frac{-4}{3}

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}

\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}

y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

Thus the required equation of line is found

A bag contains 9 red marbles, 18 orange marbles, 2 yellow marbles, and 5 purple marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the ba
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

total balls= 9 + 18 + 2 + 5 = 34

balls drawn should NOT be Orange.

so, 34 - 18 (as there are 18 orange balls)

16 balls

probability= 16/34 = 8/17

answer = 8/17

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
Aneli [31]
Slope of f(x)


Slope of g(x)


PART A)
The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.

PART B)
The equation for line f(x)
y = 4x + b
-1 = 4(0) + b
-1 = b

y = 4x - 1

The function G(x) has a bigger y-intercept. The y-intercept of g(x) is 3, while the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
