The answer is:   " - (4/3) " .
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
The original equation given has a slope of (3/4).

Note:  We know this since the equation for the slope of the line is written in "slope-intercept form" ; also known as: "point-slope form";  that is:

  " y = mx + b " ;  in which "m" (the coefficient of "x") is the slope.
____________________________________________________
The slope of a line PERPENDICULAR to an equation, when written in "slope-intercept form", is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line.

Hence, the negative reciprocal of "(3/4)"  is:  "-(4/3)" .

Ed is 7 years older than Ted. Ed’s age is also 3/4 times Ted’s age. How old are Ed and Ted?
svetlana [45]
Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (0, -1) and radius 10.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Centre (p,q) = (0, -1)

radius, r = 10

General Equation of a circle

(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2 = r^2

(x-0)^2 + (y- -1)^2 = 10^2

x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 10^2
