Answer:

The lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find out is to put both equations in the y intercept form:

y = mx + b

The first one:

9 + 4x = 9y

9y = 4x + 9

y = 4/9x + 9/4

So the slope is 4/9.

The second one:

9x + 4y = 7

4y = -9x + 7

y = -9/4x + 7/4

The slope is -9/4.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal.

What is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as a

alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula to find the slope/gradient

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

(-5, -1) = (x1, y1)

(5, 11) = (x2, y2)

So,

$= \frac{11 - ( - 1)}{5 - ( - 5)} \\ = \frac{12}{10 } \\ = \frac{6}{5}$

Someone please be awesome and help me please :(

Answer:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0$

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

They wanted to complete the square so they took the thing in front of x and divided by 2 then squared. Whatever you add in, you must take out.

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0$

Now we are read to write that one part (the first three terms together) as a square:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0$

I don't see this but what happens if we find a common denominator for those 2 terms after the square. (b/2a)^2=b^2/4a^2 so we need to multiply that one fraction by 4a/4a.

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2}=0$

They put it in ( )

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0$

I'm going to go ahead and combine those fractions now:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{-b^2+4ac}{4a^2})=0$

I'm going to factor out a -1 in the second term ( the one in the second ( ) ):

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2-(\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2})=0$

Now I'm going to add (b^2-4ac)/(4a^2) on both sides:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$

I'm going to square root both sides to rid of the square on the x+b/(2a) part:

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}$

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Now subtract b/(2a) on both sides:

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Combine the fractions (they have the same denominator):

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
