Answer:

The given line is

y=2x-3

Notice that this equation is in slope-intercept form, where m=2 and b=-3, that is, its slope is 2, and its y-intercept is at -3.

Now, all perpendicular line to the given one must have a slope of -1/2, which is the opposite inverse number, and by definition that is the slope of a perpendicular line.

Then, we use the point-slope formula, using the slope and the given point

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-(-3)=-\frac{1}{2}(x-(-4)\\ y+3=-\frac{1}{2}x+2\\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1

Therefore, the point-slope form is: y+3=-\frac{1}{2}(x+4)

The point-intercept form is: y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1

Answer: C ) y + 3 = 1/4 ( x + 4 )

Explanation:

Given that you did not include the "given line", I can help you by explaning how to solve this kind of problems, step by step.

The procedure is based of the property of perpendicular lines: the product of the slopes of perpedicular lines is negative 1.

If you call m1, the slope of a line and m2 the slope of a perpendicular line, then:

m1 * m2 = - 1, and you can solve for either m1 or m2:

m1 = - (1 / m2)

m2 = - (1 / m1).

With that this is the procedure:

1) find the slope of the "given line". Name it m1.

2) find the slope of the perpendicular line:

    m2 = - (1 / m1).

3) Use the equation of the line with the point (x1,y1) and slope m2

y - y1
-------- = m2
x - x1

4) In this case the point is (-4, - 3)=> x1 = - 4, y1 = - 3

=>

y - (-3)
---------= m2
x - (-4)

=> y + 3 = m2 * (x + 4)

=> y = m2*x + m2 * 4 - 3

Which is the point-slope form. You only have to replace m2 with the slope value of the perpendicular line, which I already explained that you find as m2 = (-1/m1).

Taking that the other line has m1 = - 4 so m2 = 1/4

      y = (1/4)x + (1/4) * 4 - 3

      y = (1/4) (x +4) - 3

      y + 3 = (1/4) (x + 4) and answer is: C ) y + 3 = 1/4 ( x + 4 )

Let point L be between M and N on MN. Given that MN=31, ML= h-15 and LN = 2h-8. Find LN.
shtirl [24]
Given that <span>point L is between M and N on MN. Then
MN = ML + LN
31 = h - 15 + 2h - 8 = 3h - 23
3h = 31 + 23 = 54
h = 54/3 = 18

Therefore, LN = 2(18) - 8 = 36 - 8 = 28.

A loan of $50,000 is taken out for six years at 9% interest compounded annually. If the loan is paid off in full at the end of that time period, $50433 must be returned.

<h3>What is Compound interest?</h3>
  • Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the initial loan amount, or principal, by one plus the annual interest rate multiplied by the number of compound periods multiplied by one.
  • Compound interest is when you earn interest on both your savings and your interest earnings. When you compound interest, you add the interest you've earned back into your principal balance, which earns you even more interest, compounding your returns.
  • Assume you have $1,000 in a savings account earning 5% interest per year. You'd earn $50 in year one, giving you a new balance of $1,050. Compound interest occurs when interest earned on savings begins to earn interest on itself.
