Find an equation perpendicular to x=1 and passing through (8,-9)

Mathematics
1 answer:
valina [46]3 years ago

Answer:

y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).

Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.

This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.

So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.

Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.

Therefore, our equation is:

y=-9

And this is in standard form.

And we're done!

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The matrix equation is \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1/2&0\\0&2&-1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}120&35&20\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to equations

- The distance between the starting point and checkpoint 1 is x

- The distance between checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- The distance between checkpoint and the finish line is z

- The total distance for the race is 120 miles

∴ x + y + z = 120 ⇒ (1)

-The distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1 is 35 miles

 more than half the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2

∵ The distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1 is x

∵ The distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- x is more than half y by 35

∴ x = 35 + (1/2) y ⇒ subtract (1/2) y from both sides

∴ x - (1/2) y = 35 ⇒ (2)

- The distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line is 20 miles less

 than twice the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2

∵ The distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line is z

∵ the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- z is less than twice y by 20

∴ z = 2y - 20 ⇒ add 20 to both sides

∴ z + 20 = 2y ⇒ subtract z from both sides

∴ 2y - z = 20 ⇒ (3)

* Now lets write the three equations

# x + y + z = 120 ⇒ (1)

# x - (1/2) y = 35 ⇒ (2)

# 2y - z = 20 ⇒ (3)

- Now lets write the matrix equation that models this situation

∴ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1/2&0\\0&2&-1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}120&35&20\end{array}\right]
