Answer:

y = - x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange - 4x + 4y = 4 into this form by adding 4x to both sides

4y = 4x + 4 ( divide all terms by 4 )

y = x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{1}$ = - 1, thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 4 = 1

y = - x + 1 ← equation of perpendicular line

Suppose triangle ABC has vertices at A(1, 0), B(10, 0), and C(2, 6). After a 60° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, ver

Check the picture attached.

Let OB be the radius of circle with center O.

Let B' be the image of B after the described rotation

OB and OB' are sides of the equilateral triangle OBB'.

The x coordinate of B' is the midpoint of OB, that is 5.

In the right triangle B', point (5, 0) and B:

Distance point (5, 0) to B is 5
|B'B|=|OB|=10

so by the pythagorean theorem:

$a= \sqrt{ 10^{2} - 5^{2} } = \sqrt{ 2^{2} *5^{2} - 5^{2} }= \sqrt{5^{2}(4-1)}=5 \sqrt{3}$ units

Answer: $5 \sqrt{3}$

Problem:

5(n-4)=(4n-12)

First: Distribute 5 into n and -4.
5(n-4)=(5n)+(5*-4)= 5n-20.

Second: Subtract 4n from both sides to eliminate the variable from the right side of the equation.

(5n-20)=(4n-12)

n-20=-12

Next: Add 20 to both sides to eliminate the constant from the left side of the equation.

n-20=-12

n=8

The unknown number is 8.

a jeweler buys a ring for $85.00 and sell it with 135% increase in price. How much did he sell it for?

siniylev [52]

Well if the increase is 135% then
actual price=85
135% of actual price=114.75
new price
= actual price + increased price
= 85+114.75
=119.75
