Find the equation of the line through (0,4) perpendicular to the line y = 3x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

m= -  \frac{1}{3}

subst. m= -  \frac{1}{3} into the equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

4 =  -  \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4

Thus the equation of the line is y =  -\frac{1}{3} x + 4.

Answer:

<h2><u><em>6. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>   a. 11 and 2/3 yds. squared</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>   b. Yes, the volume of the shed is 11 and 1/3 yards squared and what she's trying to put into it is only 10 yards squared, if put in properly, it will be able to fit.</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>7. 1,110 in. squared</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6.

a.

(10/3)*(14/9)*(9/4)

= 11 2/3

b.

Yes, because the volume of the shed is about 11.67 yards long, the 10 yards of wood will fit in the shed.

7.

For this one, we have to break it into two pieces.

(I made them into a small box and and big box)

The measurements of the small box are 7*5*6.

The measurements of the big box are 20*5*9.

Using this information, we can make the following equation and solve it quickly.

(7*5*6) + (20*5*9)

(210) + (900)

1,110

Thus, the volume of this box is 1,110 in. ^2
