The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of that:

... m = -1/(3/5) = -5/3

The point-slope form of the equation of a line can be written as

... y = m(x -h) +k . . . . .for slope m and point (h, k)

Using the values we are given for the perpendicular line, its equation is

... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5

Simplifying gives

... y = (-5/3)x +20

The y-intercept of the perpendicular line is 20.

Help I’ll give you 30 points
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

a) 16.25 centimeters

b) 6.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.

a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:

6.5/x

x represents the length you're trying to find.

Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:

7.2/18=6.5/x

Cross multiply

16.25

XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.

b)

We can do same thing:

7.2/18=x/17

Cross multiply

6.8

QR is 6.8 centimeters long.

Hope this helps!

At the family reunion there were 15 more family members there this year than at the last family reunion. There were 46 people at
Kipish [7]
The equation would be x+15=46. I came up with this equation because we are given the total number of people at the reunion this year and we know how many more people are here this year than last year. The unknown is the number of people last year. That is why x would represent the number of people at the reunion last year because that is the unknown. If we add 15 to the number of people last year, it will give us 46( the number of people at the reunion this year).
To find x, we just use opposite operation to get the answer. Opposite of addition is subtraction so, we subtract the number of more people and the reunion this year from the total number of people at the reunion to get the unknown number of people at the reunion last year. 46-15 is 31. Therefore we know that 31 people were at the reunion last year

Find an equation of the circle that has center (-2, 6) and passes through (-6, 1).
Darya [45]

Answer:

<u><em>(x+2)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 41</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

So first, it is known that the circle's center is at (-2,6), Therefore, this can be filled in:

(x+2)^2+(y-6)^2=r^2

Next, we need to find the radius, and one of the points is already known, being (-6, 1)

With this, find the distance between these two points by doing the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. The a^2 would be the x value changed and the b^2 would be the y value changed between the two numbers. Note that this is interchangeable.

To find a:

-2 to -6 = change of 4

To find b:

6 to 1 = change of 5

Next, write out the equation for this:

4^2+5^2=c^2

16+25=c^2

41=c^2

c = √41

The radius would be √41, so the equation can now be completed. Since c will be brought to the second power, this will cancel out the square root.

(x+2)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 41

Hope that helps.
