Write an equation perpendicular to x-4y=20 that passes through the point 2,-5

Mathematics

marshall27 [118]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  4x +y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...

  4x +y = (constant)

Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.

Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...

  4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3

The line of interest has equation ...

  4x + y = 3

The definition of a circle uses the undefined term _______.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. Plane  

Step-by-step explanation:

One definition of a circle is: "It is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a fixed point."

The undefined term is the word "plane."

You could define a plane as a flat surface with zero thickness and extends infinitely in all directions, but it isn't in the definition of a circle.

Euclid defined a plane as "a surface that lies evenly with the lines on it" before he defined a circle, so the meaning was understood.

A, B, and D are wrong. They aren't mentioned in the definition.

A fish-tank has a length of 27 centimeters, a width of 21 centimeters and a depth of 16 centimeters. Find the volume of the fish
NISA [10]

Answer:

To find the volume of the fish tank, we will need to multiply the height, the length, and the width of the fish tank. So, 21 x 27 x 16 = 9072 cm
