Equation for the line that is perpendicular to the line 4y=5x-8 through the point (-5,4)

Mathematics

Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago

To find the equation for this line, we are going to use point-slope form. First, to find the perpendicular slope, we need to find the slope of the line 4y=5x - 8. To do this, we must transform this equation into slope-intercept form so we can determine the slope.

4y=5x-8

We should divide both sides of the equation by 4 to put the equation into slope-intercept form.

4y/4 = 5x/4 - 8/4

y = 5/4x - 2

Therefore, we can determine that the slope of this equation is 5/4. The slope of the line perpendicular to this line has the opposite reciprocal slope. To find the opposite reciprocal of 5/4, we must make it negative and switch the numerator and the denominator. The opposite reciprocal of 5/4 is -4/5.

Now, we must use this slope and the point we were given, (-5, 4), to write a new equation.

y = m(x-h) + k

y = -4/5(x + 5) + 4

y = -4/5x - 4 + 4

y = -4/5x

Therefore, your answer is y = -4/5x.

Hope this helps!

If the total area of a picture measuring 10 inches by 12 inches plus a matting of uniform width surrounding the picture is 224 s
ELEN [110]
Let
x-----------> <span>uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x</span>²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see  the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in

the answer is
2 inches

At 1:30 p.m., Tom leaves in his boat from a dock and heads south. He travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour. Ten minutes later,
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: she would catch up with Tom in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time it will take for Mary to catch up with Tom.

Tom leaves his boat from a dock and travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by Tom in t hours is

25 × t = 25t

Ten minutes later, Mary leaves the same dock in her speedboat and heads after Tom. Converting 10 minutes to hours, it becomes 10/60 hour

Time spent by Mary is (t - 10/60) hours. If she travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour, it means that the distance that she would travel in

(t - 10/60) hours is

30(t - 10/60)

= 30t - 5

By the time she catches up with Tom, they would have covered the same distance. It means that

25t = 30t - 5

30t - 25t = 5

5t = 5

t = 5/5 = 1 hour
