Answer:

b= -x+ y/17

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 17x from both sides of the equation in order to isolate b on one side.

y -17x= 17b

2. Divide every term by 17 in order to isolate b from any coefficients.

y/17 -17x/17 = 17b/17

3. Simplify

b= -x+y/17

Which of the following equations represents a line that is perpendicular to

Andreyy89

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===============================$

$\text{We have the equation:}\ y=-2x+4\to m_1=-2.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}.\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b.\\\\\text{Put the coordinate of the point (4, 2) to the equation:}\\\\2=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b\\\\2=2+b\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\0=b\to b=0.\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x$

What is the diameter of the cylinder if the height is 13, and the volume is 1256? Use 3.14 for pi.

Sergio039 [100]

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

1256 = (3.14) x (r)² x (13)

1256 = 40.82r²

r² = 1256 ÷ 40.82

r² = 30.769

r = √30.69

r = 5.547

Diameter = Radius x 2

Diameter = 5.547 x 2

Diameter = 11.09 units (nearest hundredth)

What’s the answer to this ?

gladu [14]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.

∠ I = ∠P ← substitute values and solve for x

3x + 4 = 72 - x ( add x to both sides )

4x + 4 = 72 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x = 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 17
