Given

The line equation is        

y= \frac{4}{9}x-2

passes through the line (4,3 )

Find out the equation of the perpendicular line.

To proof

given equation is

 y= \frac{4}{9}x-2

the equation of line is in the form y = mx +c

where m = slope

           c is the intercept on the y axis.

compare this equation to the above equation

we get

m =\frac{4}{9}

In perpendicular line case

The slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line.

thus slope of the perpendicular line

= \frac{-9}{4}

Than equation perpendicular line becomes

y= \frac{-9}{4}x + c

as the line passes through the point( 4,3)

put these value in the above equation

we get

3= \frac{-9}{4}\times 4 + c

solving the above equation

3 +9 =c

12 =c

put this value in the above equation

we get

y= \frac{-9}{4}\times x + 12

this is equation of the perpendicular line.

Hence proved

Carol, Ann, and Liz each bought a toy fish. Carol's fish is 5 inches longer than Ann's fish. Liz's fish is 9 inches longer than
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The length of Ann's toy fish is 12 inches; the length of Carol's toy fish is 17 inches; and the length of Liz's toy fish is 33 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Carol's fish is c inches long, Ann's is a inches long, and Liz's is l inches long. Then:

c = 5 + a

l = 9 + 2a

a = 12

Plug 12 in for a to find c and l:

c = 5 + a = 5 + 12 = 17 inches

l = 9 + 2a = 9 + 2 * 12 = 9 + 24 = 33 inches

Thus:

The length of Ann's toy fish is 12 inches; the length of Carol's toy fish is 17 inches; and the length of Liz's toy fish is 33 inches.

Answer:

convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction

3*3 = 9

9+1 = 10

10/3

multiply the numerator by 4

(10/3) * 4 = 40/3

40/3 = 13 1/3
