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

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.

Need help ASAP !!! And show work please

Answer:

\sqrt{40} or 6.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between two points by using this formula

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

where the x and y values are derived from the given points

The points given are ( -2 , 5 ) and ( 4 , 3 )

So we plug in the x and y values of those coordinates into the distance formula

\sqrt{(4-(-2)^2+(3-5)^2} \\4-(-2)=6\\3-5=-2\\d=\sqrt{6^2+-2^2} \\6^2=36\\-2^2=4\\36+4=40\\d=\sqrt{40}

or 6.32

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,2) and (0,6).
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

slope-intercept formula ----->  Y2-Y1/X2-X1

Step-by-step explanation:

X1 = 2       X2= 0

Y1 = 2        Y2=6

6-2/0-2= -2

G= -2

You have a balance of $4,600 on your credit card. The interest rate is 12% (1% per month). The late payment fee is $40.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$86

Step-by-step explanation:

first you gotta find the interest

4,600 * 1% = 46

so the interest is $46

then you add the interest and late fees together to get the payment for the month

46 + 40 = $86

your total cost is $86
