The answer would be y = 2x-16

Okay so a perpendicular line has a slope of the opposite reciprocal so for example in this equation the slope is 2 so the slope of a perpendicular equation would be -1/2 now since you know that you can put that in the slope intercept equation
Now you have y=-1/2x+b and since you have a point (point A) you can plug it in and solve for b
-8=-1/2(4)+b
-8=-2+b
b=-6
Now you have both parts simply put it in and you have the equation
y=-1/2x-6
I also attached the image with both to prove they are perpendicular

How many gallons of a 50% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 30% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 40% antif
Mariulka [41]

I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.

Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.

Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.

We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have

(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4

Solve for <em>x</em> :

0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)

0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24

0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18

0.1 <em>x</em> = 6

<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal

If you place a 41-foot ladder against the top of a 40-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bot
garri49 [273]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is the hypotenuse, the wall is one of the legs. In order to find the other leg you have to do c^2-a^2=b^2. 41^2-40^2 is 81 and the square root of that is 9
