Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that goes through the point (-9,4) and is perpendicular to line Y=-3x-2

Mathematics

Leto [7]4 years ago

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line y = -3x - 2 would have to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line:

or, in other words,

the negative reciprocal of -3.  That would be +1/3.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we have:

y = mx + b.  

We substitute the coordinates of the given point, (-9,4), and the slope +1/3:

4 = (1/3)(-9) + b.

This simplifies to

4 = -3 + b, from which it can be easily seen that b = 7.

The desired line is y = (1/3)x + 7.

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 100m away is 45 degrees. What is the height of the tower to the neares
OLEGan [10]
<h3>Answer: 100 meters</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.

Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

---------

You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(45) = 100/x

1 = 100/x

1*x = 100

x = 100

In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.

Find the maximum rate of change of f(x,y) = x2y +2y
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Maximum rate of change at the point (-1,2) = √17

Direction is the direction of the gradient

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a function (scalar or vectorial ) is a vector in the direction of maximum rate of change then

f( x,y ) =  x*2y  + 2y

grad    =  δ/δx i +  δ/δy j + δ/δz k

grad f(x,y)  = [ δ/δx i , δ/δy]  =  [ 2y , x+2 ]

at the point  ( -1 , 2 )

grad f(x,y)  = [4 , 1]

| grad f(x,y) |  =  √ (4)²  + (1)²   =  √17

Please help me answer all the questions in this test!
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

4. 2(3k+4y-14).

5. 76+34.9.

6.10t-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4.since it's 6k+8y-14 all of the numbers can be divided by 2 then the you just put a 2 in front of everything and then(3k+4y-14).

5. (22+11.5x)+(54+23.4x).

=(22+54)+(11.5x+23.4x).

=76+34.9x.

=34.9x+76.

6.(9t-3)+(-5+t).

=(9t+t)+(-3-5).

=10t-8.

In a study by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Nasdaq Stock Market, it was
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) 0.1108

(b) 0.0173

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 20% of all stock investors are retired people. A random sample of 25 stock investors is taken.

Firstly, the binomial probability is given by;

where, n = number of trails(samples) taken = 25

r = number of successes

p = probability of success and success in our question is % of

retired people i.e. 20%.

Let X = Number of people retired

(a) Probability that exactly seven are retired people = P(X = 7)

P(X = 7) =

= = 0.1108

(b) Probability that 10 or more are retired people = P(X >= 10)

P(X >= 10) = 1 - P(X <= 9)

Now, using binomial probability table, we find that P(X <= 9) is 0.98266 at n = 25, p = 0.2 and x= 9

So, P(X >= 10) = 1 - 0.98266 = 0.0173.

A family of right triangles has side lengths in the approximate ratio 3:4:5. One right angle
velikii [3]

Answer:

2,016.67 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the approximate ratio of the sides of a rectangle as 3:4:5.

Total ratio = 3+4+5 = 12

Area of the rectangle = 1/2*base *height

get the base;

base = 3/12 * 220

Base =  55cm

Get the height

Height = 4/12 * 220

Height = 880/12

Height = 73.3cm

Area = 1/2 * 55 * 73.3

Area = 2,016.67 sq. cm
