You have to write the equation for a line that crosses the point (-4, -7) and is perpendicular to the line
When you have to determine a line that is perpendicular to a known line, you have to keep in mind that the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the first one.
If for exampla you have two lines, the first one being:
And the second one, that is perpedicular to the one above:
The slope of the second one is the negative inverse of the first one:
The slope of the given line y=-7/4+4 is m=-7/4
So the slope of the perpendicular line has to ve the inverse negative of -7/4
Considering it has to pass through the point (-4,-7) and that we already determined its slope, you can unse the point slope formula to determine the equation of the perpendicular line:
replace with the coordinates of the point and the slope and calculate:
Subtract 7 to both sides of the equation to write it in slope-intercept form:
Now you can graph both lines
The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1
1
cm
Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3
3
cm
Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10
meters 6
6
cm
Its height after x
x
years = 10
10
meters x
x
cm
Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

The length of the wall would be 52 inches,why because you know that i inch iss 6 ft and because you already have 8 inches go ahead and multiply 8 by 6 and you get 48. you need to figure out what is 2/3 of 6 and it is 4 because 2 goes into 6 three times so 2+2 is 4. let me know if this helps you at all or if you have any questions
If this is a T/F question, then your answer is True .-.
Answers A. and B. Are correct
