Answer:

y - 4 = 5(x - 7) or y = 5x - 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: <em>y = mx + b</em> (m = slope, b = y-intercept)

Point-slope form: <em>y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)</em> ((x₁, y₁) = known point, m = slope)

1. Slope: perpendicular to -1/5 --> 5 (negative reciprocal)

2. Insert knowns into equation: y - 4 = 5(x - 7)

3. Turn into point-slope form (assuming that is what we are looking for):

Multiply: <em>y - 4 = 5x - 35</em>

Subtract: y = 5x - 31

18×3=54
3.99×2=7.98
54+7.98+45=106.98
106.98×.085=9.0933
106.98+9.0933=116.0733
rounded to 116.07

Let a=(?2,1,2, b=(?1,2,4, and p=(k,k,k. the vector from a to b is perpendicular to the vector from a to p when k =
prohojiy [21]
Vector a = (2, 1, 2)
Vector b = (1, 2, 4)
Vector p = (k, k, k)

Vector a to vector b = vector b - vector a = (1, 2, 4) - (2, 1, 2) = (1 - 2, 2 - 1, 4 - 2) = (-1, 1, 2)
Vector a to vector p = vector p - vector a = (k, k, k) - (2, 1, 2) = (k - 2, k - 1, k - 2)

Vector a to b is perpendicular to vector a to p if the dot product of vector a to vector b and vector a to vector p is equal to zero.
i.e. (-1, 1, 2) . (k - 2, k - 1, k - 2) = 0
-1(k - 2) + (k - 1) + 2(k - 2) = 0
-k + 2 + k - 1 + 2k - 4 = 0
2k -3 = 0
2k = 3
k = 3/2

For the angle, correct it to how many significant figures or decimal places whatever the question wants you to. Hopefully this helps :D

For me, it's usually to 1 D.P, so 38.1°.
