Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(6,−1)A(6,−1) that is perpendicular to the line y = −2x+8y = −2x+8.

3 0

So the equation has to pass through (6,-1) and be perpendicular to y = -2x + 8.
The slope is -2, and to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another line you have to find the negative reciprocal of that slope. That means -2 is equal to
-2/1, and if you flip those numbers and find the opposite of that number making it positive, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1/2.
But the line also has to pass through (6,-1), so we have to find the y-intercept of the new line.
To do that, you multiply 6(the x) by the 1/2(the slope) and get 3. Then you subtract 3(previous answer) from -1(the y) and get -4. That means the y-intercept is -4!
All that's left is to build the equation with this information. The equation is:
y = -4 + 1/2x

A line passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation in point-slope form, which is: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where $(x_1,y_1)$ is the point and m is the slope.

Here, our point is (-2, 7) and our slope is m = -5 so plug these in:

$y -7=-5*(x-(-2))$

$y -7=-5*(x+2)$

Now, if (a, 2) lies on this line, then it should satisfy the equation. So plug in a for x and 2 for y:

2 - 7 = -5(a + 2)

-5 = -5(a + 2)

Divide by -5:

1 = a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

a = -1

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!

Please solve the following sum or difference identity.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$sin(A - B) = \frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$sin(A) = \frac{24}{25}$

$sin(B) = -\frac{4}{5}$

Need:

$sin(A - B)$

First, let's look at the identities:

sum: $sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB$

difference: $sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB$

The question asks to find sin(A - B); therefore, we need to use the difference identity.

Based on the given information (value and quadrant), we can draw reference triangles to find the simplified values of A and B.

sin(A) = $\frac{24}{25}$

cos(A) = $\frac{7}{25}$

sin(B) = $-\frac{4}{5}$

cos(B) = $\frac{3}{5}$

Plug these values into the difference identity formula.

$sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB$

$sin(A - B) = (\frac{24}{25})(\frac{3}{5}) - (-\frac{4}{5})(\frac{7}{25})$

Multiply.

$sin(A - B) = (\frac{72}{125}) + (\frac{28}{125})$

Add.

$sin(A - B) = \frac{4}{5}$

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!

X^2 + Y^2 +ax + 2y + 3 = 0<br><br> What number is this equation the equation of a circle?

Sav [38]

Answer:

Eq: (x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=(a²-8)/4

Center: O(-a/2, -1)

Radius: r=0.5×sqrt(a²-8)

Mandatory: a>2×sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle with center in O(xo,yo) and radius r has the equation:

(x-xo)²+(y-yo)²=r²

We have:

x²+y²+ax+2y+3=0

But: x²+ax=x²+2(a/2)x+a²/4-a²/4= (x+a/2)²-a²/4

And

y²+2y+3=y²+2y+1+2=(y+1)²+2

Replacing, we get:

(x+a/2)²-a²/4+(y+1)²+2=0

(x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=a²/4-2=(a²-8)/4

By visual inspection we note that:

- center of circle: O(-a/2, -1)

- radius: r=sqrt((a²-8)/4)=0.5×sqrt(a²-8). This means a²>8 or a>2×sqrt(2)
