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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

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.

On a number line, point A has a coordinate of −6, and point B has a coordinate of 2. Which is the coordinate of point M, the mid
klasskru [66]
To solve this, we just need to find the distance between the points A and B in the number line, and then, divide that distance by 2.
Remember that the distance formula between tow point in the number line is: 
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
From our point we can infer that x_{1}=-6 and x_{2}=2, so lets replace the values:
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
d=|2-(-6)|
d=|2+6|
d=8

Now, to find the coordinate of the midpoint, we just need to divide that distance by 2:
M= \frac{8}{2}
M=4

We can conclude that the coordinate of the point M, the midpoint of AB, is 4

Aziza has a triangle with two sides measuring 11 in. And 15 in. She claims that the third side can be any length as long as it i
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The third side can be any length as long as it is greater than 4 in and less than 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The<u> Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>, states that The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

x ----> the length of the third side

Applying the triangle inequality theorem

1) 11+15 > x

26 > x

rewrite

x < 26 in

2) 11+x > 15

x> 15-11

x > 4 in

therefore

Aziza's claim is incomplete

The third side can be any length as long as it is greater than 4 in and less than 26 in

Wasserman (1989) studied a process for the manufacturing of steel bolts. Historically, these bolts have a mean thickness of 10.0
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The mean of of the sample mean of these quality checks is 10 and the standard deviation is 0.7155.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the central limit theorem.

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 10, \sigma = 1.6, n = 5, s = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{5}} = 0.7155

The mean of of the sample mean of these quality checks is 10 and the standard deviation is 0.7155.
