We need to swap the numerator and denominator, and change the sign of one of them to get a perpendicular slope.5x + 10y = c. Now subtract the point.
5(-4) + 10(7) = -20 + 70 = 50 = c 
5x + 10y = 50 is an equation. If we want, we can divide everything by 5 to get x + 2y = 10.The more usual way to do these is put the equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. 10x-5y=8 -5y = -10x + 8 y = 2x - 8/5 Now you have the slope of the original line, 2. Any line perpendicular to this one must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this one, -1/2 So this new line must be y = -1/2 x + c .Now subtract in point to solve for c.
7 = (-1/2)(-4) + c 7 = 2+c 
5 = c 
y = -1/2 x + 5 
The first time we solved we got this. 
x + 2y = 10 but, if we divide everything by 2, we get 1/2 x + y = 5 So... subtract 1/2 x from both sides and you have identical equations. So the two are equivalent. The answer is y = -1/2 x + 5 
Hope this helped!

Find the measure of angle 1
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In ∆FDH, there are two slash marks in two of its legs. This indicates that this triangle is isosceles. If a triangle is isosceles, then it will have two congruent sides and therefore have two congruent angles.

In ∆FDH, angle D is already given to us as the measure of 80°. We can find out the measure of the other angles of this triangle by using the equation:

80 + 2x = 180

Subtract 80 from both sides of the equation.

2x = 100

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 50

This means that angle F and angle H in ∆FDH both measure 50°.

Now, moving over to the next smaller triangle in the picture is ∆DHG. In this triangle, there are also two legs that are congruent which once again indicates that this triangle is isosceles.

First, we have to solve for angle DHG and we do that by using the information obtained from solving for the angles of the other triangle.

**In geometry, remember that two or more consecutive angles that form a line will always be supplementary; the angles add up to 180°.**

In this case angle DHF and angle DHG are consecutive angles which form a linear pair. So, we can use the equation:

Angle DHF + Angle DHG = 180°

50° + Angle DHG = 180°.

Angle DHG = 130°.

Now that we know the measure of one angle in ∆DHG, we can use the same method as the previous step for solving the missing angles. Use the equation:

130 + 2x = 180

2x = 50

x = 25

The other two missing angles of ∆DHG are 25°. This means that the measure of angle 1 is also 25°.

Solution: 25°

If f and g are differentiable functions for all real values of x such that f(1) = 4, g(1) = 3, f '(3) = −5, f '(1) = −4, g '(1)
belka [17]

Answer:

h'(1)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the definition of the derivative of a quotient:

If h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}, then:

h'(x)=\frac{f'(x)*g(x)-f(x)*g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}

Since in our case we want the derivative of h(x) at the point x = 1, which is indicated by: h'(1), we need to evaluate the previous expression at x = 1, that is:

h'(1)=\frac{f'(1)*g(1)-f(1)*g'(1)}{(g(1))^2}

which, by replacing with the given numerical values:

f(1) =4\\g(1)=3\\f'(1)=-4\\g'(1)=-3

becomes:

h'(1)=\frac{f'(1)*g(1)-f(1)*g'(1)}{(g(1))^2}=\\=\frac{-4*3-4*(-3)}{(3)^2}=\frac{-12+12}{9} =\frac{0}{9} =0
