If the line segment is perpendicular to a line with the slope of -4, that means the line segment has a slope of 1/4.

First let's make an equation for the line segment using the slope of 1/4 and the point at (2,6) to find the final piece, the y-intercept

y = mx + b
6 = 1/4(2) + b
6 = 2/4 + b
24/4 = 2/4 + b
22/4 = b

y = 1/4 x + 22/4
6 = 1/4(2) + 22/4
6 = 2/4 + 22/4
6 = 24/4
6 = 6 <-- proves that this equation is correct

Now you may plug in the x to find y. ( 8 , y )
y = 1/4(8) + 22/4
y = 8/4 + 22/4
y = 30/4 = 15/2 = 7.5

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

12y-3=2(5y+1/2)

12y-3=10y+1

12y-10y-3=1

12y-10y=1+3

2y=1+3

2y=4

y=2

What is the approximate value of the function at x = -8<br> A) 2<br> B) 1<br> C) 1.8<br> D) 1.5
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

f(-8) = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

See the graph of a given function which is attached to the question given.

The graph of y = f(x) is plotted in the graph and we have to find the value of y at x = - 8 i.e. f(-8).

It is clear from the graph that the value of y corresponding to the value of x = -8 is slightly lower than 2.

Therefore, we can approximate the value of f(-8) as 1.8. (Answer)

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. the length of the deck
anzhelika [568]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = (x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

Subtracting 4x^{2} from both sides

128 = 34 x + 60

Subtracting 60 from both sides

128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60

68 = 34  x

Dividing 34 in both sides

\frac{68}{34}  = \frac{34 x }{34}

x = 2

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)
