The slope of a line is -4 and it’s y-intercept is (0,4) what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line

and passes through (-8,2)

Original line equation: y=-4x+4

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/4x.

Perpendicular line equation: y=1/4x+b

Plug in the coordinates that the line passes through to solve for b. Plug -8 in for x and 2 in for y.

2=1/4(-8)+b

Multiply.

2=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides.

4=b

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=1/4x+4

Hope this helps! :)

A segment with endpoints A (3, 4) and C (5, 11) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 2:3 ratio. Find B.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(3.8, 6.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B:

Has coordinates (x,y)

AB and BC form a 2:3 ratio.

This means that:

B - A = \frac{2}{2+3}(C - A)

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

We apply this both for the x-coordinate and for the y-coordinate.

x-coordinate:

x-coordinate of A: 3

x-coordinate of C: 5

x-coordinate of B: x

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

x - 3 = \frac{2}{5}(5 - 3)

x - 3 = \frac{4}{5}

x = 0.8 + 3 = 3.8

y-coordinate:

y-coordinate of A: 4

y-coordinate of C: 11

y-coordinate of B: y

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

y - 4 = \frac{2}{5}(11 - 4)

y - 4 = \frac{14}{5}

y = 2.8 + 4 = 6.8

Thus the correct answer is:

(3.8, 6.8)
