Answer:
L = 10.64°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
In triangle JKL;
line k = 9.6 cm
line l = 2.7 cm; &
angle J = 43°
we are to find angle L = ???
We can use the sine rule to determine angle L:
i.e
Using Pythagoras rule to find j
i,e
j² = k² + l²
j² = 9.6²+ 2.7²
j² = 92.16 + 7.29
j² = 99.45
j = 9.97
∴
First find the slope of the given line:
4x +2y = 1
Subtract 4x from each side:
2y = -4x + 1
Divide both sides by 2:
y = -2x +1/2
The slope is -2.
Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.
The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2
Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:
y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)
Simplify:
y - 3 = x/2 +2
Add 3 to each side:
y = x/2 + 5
Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5
The answer is D.
