The formula is  (2)(n-4) = n-1/4

Mult both sides by 4: 

                         8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.

If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.  What do you mean by "1/4 less?"

Let's try    (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n.  Then,

2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8.  Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:

n = (5/4)(8) = 10.  Is that what you were hoping for?

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

2) Your written answer is correct, y = x +4

3) Slope of perpendicular line: 5/2

y=mx+b

4 = (5/2)(4) + b

4 = 10 + b

b = -6

So, y=(5/2)x - 6

4) Slope of perpendicular line: 1

y=mx+b

5 = (1)(4) + b

5 = 4 + b

b = 1

So, y = x + 1

7) Slope of perpendicular line: 3/4

y=mx+b

4 = (3/4)(4) + b

4 = 3 + b

b = 1

So, y = (3/4)x + 1

8) Slope of perpendicular line: 1/4

y=mx+b

-2 = (1/4)(0) + b

b = -2

So, y = (1/4)x - 2

Through (4,-4) ; perpendicular to 6y=x-12
BARSIC [14]

y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept


We can arrange 6y = x - 12 in the form of y = mx + b

                  6y = x - 12

                    y = 1/6(x) - 2

Slope of y = 1/6(x) - 2 is 1/6. Taking the negative reciprocal of the slope we get the slope for the perpendicular line.

Negative reciprocal of 1/6 is -6.

The equation for the perpendicular line is

                  y = -6x + b

To find b we can plug in the x and y values of (4,-4) into it since it passes through those coordinates

                -4 = -6(4) + b

                 b = -4 + 6(4)

                 b = -4 + 24

                 b = 20

So the equation for the perpendicular line is y = -6x + 20

Find the distance between M(-1,-10) and P(-12,-3) * Round to the nearest tenth.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

13.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we use the formula

d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2+ (x2-x1)^2)

   sqrt((-3--10)^2 + (-12--1)^2)

   sqrt( (-3+10)^2 + (-12+1)^2)

   sqrt( (7^2  + (-11)^2)

  sqrt( 49+121)

  sqrt( 170)

13.038

Rounding to the nearest tenth
