What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 1/2x + 6 that passes through the point (4,-3)

Mathematics

Finger [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=1/2x + 6 is 1/2. The slope perpendicular to it is -2.

Using m=-2, substitute it and (4,-3) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y--3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2x+8\\y=-2x+5

The equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx+b and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of y=-2x+5 is (0,5).

Translate this problem to an equation and solve. The area of a patio is 72 square feet. The length of the patio is 1 foot longer
Inessa05 [86]
A = LW
A = 72
L = W + 1

72 = W(W + 1)
72 = W^2 + W
W^2 + W - 72 = 0
(W + 9)(W - 8) = 0

W + 9 = 0
W = -9......extraneous solution...does not work here

W - 8 = 0
W = 8 <==

L = W + 1
L = 8 + 1
L = 9

so the width (W) is 8 ft and the Length is 9 ft
