Answer:

  y = (7/2)x -20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in slope-intercept form, so you can read its slope from the equation.

  y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept

  y = -(2/7)x + 9 . . . . . . has slope -2/7

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this, so will be ...

  m = -1/(-2/7) = 7/2

We can use this and the given point to write the equation in point-slope form.

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

We have m = 7/2, (h, k) = (4, -6) so the equation is ...

  y = (7/2)(x -4) -6

  y = (7/2)x -20

Please Help Quicly The equation 8x - 4y = 5 is dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin. What is the new slope and
Rzqust [24]

For new line, slope m=2 and y-intercept c=(-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Note : Figure given is for reference to understand better.</em>

<em>Where redline is for given line and blueline for new line</em>

<em />

The equation of given line 8x-4y=5 and it is dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin.

Step 1 : Find two points on given line.

When x=0, y=?

8x-4y=5

8(0)-4y=5

y=\frac{-5}{4}

When y=0, x=?

8x-4y=5

8x-4(0)=5

x=\frac{5}{8}

We get points A(0,\frac{-5}{4}), B(\frac{5}{8},0)

Step 2: Find distance from centered and scale it.

Now, It is said that line 8x-4y=5 dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin and point A and point B is on same.

So that point A and point B  will also get dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin or distance of points from origin will be scaled by 8.

For point A:

Distance of point A(0,\frac{-5}{4}) from origin is ( \frac{-5}{4})  unit in x-direction and zero \frac{-5}{4})  unit in y-direction.

After scaled by factor of 8, the distance will multipy by 8 and new location is A'(0,-10)

For point B:

Distance of point B(\frac{5}{8},0) from origin is (\frac{5}{8}) unit in x-direction and zero unit in y-direction.

After scaled by factor of 8, the distance will multipy by 8 and new location is B'(5,0)

Step 3: Find Equation of new line.

Points A'(0,-10) and B'(5,0) make a new line

The equation of given as

\frac{y-Y1}{x-X1} = \frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}

\frac{y-(-10)}{x-0} = \frac{0-(-10)}{5-0}

\frac{y+(10)}{x} = 2

\frac{y+(10)}{x} = 2

y+10= 2x

y= 2x-10

Now, Comparing with the equation of the line : y=mx + c

Where m=slope and c is the y-intercept

We get, Slope m=2 and y-intercept c=(-10)

Kyle’s bank statement shows a balance of –$18.50. Which describes the magnitude, or size, of the debt in dollars?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C. $18.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kyle’s bank statement shows a balance of –$18.50. We are asked to determine the magnitude, or size, of the debt in dollars.

We know that the magnitude of a negative number is absolute value of negative number.

\text{Magnitude of debt in dollars}=|-\$18.50|

Since absolute value of a negative number is opposite of the number.

\text{Magnitude of debt in dollars}=-(-\$18.50)=\$18.50

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

Can anyone help me by just saying <br> number 1,2,3,4,5 you have to show work
Artist 52 [7]
2(x - 5) = 110

2x - 10 = 110

Add 10 to both sides.

2x = 120

Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = 60

How can i learn times faster like 3's til 12's in Times i have a hard time in my times can someone tell me how i can learn them
iogann1982 [59]
To get better at 12's:
Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0    0 = 12 x0
1    2 = 12 x1
2    4 = 12 x2
3    6 = 12 x3
4    8 = 12 x4
6    0 = 12 x5
7    2 = 12 x6
8    4 = 12 x7
9    6 = 12 x8
10  8 = 12 x9
12  0 = 12 x10
13  2 = 12 x 11
14  4 = 12 x 12
