Answer:

7x+5y-48=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

We are given a line AB

Point A=(x_1,y_1) = (-3,-1)

Point B=(x_2,y_2) = (4,4)

Formula for slope 'm' when two points are given :

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting thew values

m=\frac{4-(-1)}{4-(-3)}

m=\frac{5}{7}

Since we are given that AB is perpendicular to BC

So, By property - perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

\Rightarrow m_1\times m_2 =-1

\Rightarrow \frac{5}{7}\times m_2 =-1

\Rightarrow m_2 = \frac{-7}{5}

So, Slope for line BC : m_2 = \frac{-7}{5}

Point B = (4,4)

Formula of equation of line : y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-4=\frac{-7}{5}(x-4)

5(y-4)=-7(x-4)

5y-20=-7x+28

7x+5y-20-28=0

7x+5y-48=0

Hence the equation of line BC : 7x+5y-48=0

Does anyone know how to solve |4x+3|-9<5
elixir [45]

Answer in fraction form:   -17/4 < x < 11/4

Answer in decimal form:   -4.25 < x < 2.75

=======================================================

Work Shown:

|4x+3| - 9 < 5

|4x+3| < 5+9 .... adding 9 to both sides

|4x+3| < 14

-14 < 4x+3 <  14 .... see note at the bottom

-14-3 < 4x < 14-3 .... subtracting 3 from all sides

-17 < 4x < 11

-17/4 < x < 11/4 .... divide all sides by 4

-4.25 < x < 2.75

This says that x is between -4.25 and 2.75, but x is not equal to either endpoint.

Note: I used the rule that |x| < k becomes -k < x < k where k is a positive real number.
