The given line is 4x - 3y = 5.
Write the equation in standard form.
3y + 5 = 4x
3y = 4x - 5
y= \frac{4}{3}x- \frac{5}{3}
This is a straight line with slope = 4/3, and with y-intercept = - 5/3.

A perpendicular line should have a slope of -3/4, because the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.
Let the perpendicular line be
y=- \frac{3}{4}x+b
Because the line passes through the point (3,1), therefore
- \frac{3}{4}(3)+b=1 \\\\ - \frac{9}{4}+b=1 \\\\ b=1+ \frac{9}{4}= \frac{13}{4}
The equation of the perpendicular line is
y=- \frac{3}{4}x+ \frac{13}{4}

The equation may also be written as
4y + 3x = 13.
A graph of the two lines is shown below.

Answer:
y=- \frac{3}{4}x+ \frac{13}{4} \,\, or \,\, 4y+3x=13

Active ingredient of a pill comprises 45% of the pill mass. If a pill contains 325 mg of active ingredient,
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to be able to write and then solve the equation needed for this. In words, this is what you are looking to solve: "The active ingredinet is 45% of the mass of the pill". Putting those words into an equation:

active ingredient = .45 (mass of pill). Since our active ingredient is 35 mg:

325 = .45m and divide by .45:

m = 722.2 mg

Which steps would you use to solve this equation? Check all that apply.
Dovator [93]

Answer: The answers are

  1. Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.
  2. Subtract 7 from 7.
  3. Substitute 5 for p to check the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 7 = 12

=   p + 7 - 7 = 12 - 7

=   p = 5

Then for the substituting part

5 + 7 = 12

Hope this helps!
