The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(3/5) = -5/3.
The point-slope form of the equation for a line of slope m through point (h, k) can be written ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
For your point and the slope found above, this becomes
... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5
When x=0, this is
... y = (-5/3)(-15) -5 = 20
The y-intercept is 20.
Answer:
length of chord is 6cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the length of the chord.
It should be understood that the chord has a length of 0.8cm from the center of the circle of radius 3cm, thereby forming two right-angled triangles with the radius 3cm being the hypotenuse of each and 0.8cm being the height of each.
Now, the chord is divided into 2 by this height dropping from the center of the circle. To calculate the first half, we use Pythagoras’ theorem with 3cm being hypotenuse and 0.8cm being the other side.
mathematically;
3^2 = 0.8^2 + l^2
9 = 0.64 + l^2
l^2 = 9-0.64
l^2 = 8.36
l = √(8.36)
l = 2.89 approximately
The length of the chord would be 2l = 2 * 2.89 = 5.78 cm which is 6cm to the nearest length
