Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y = –4x and passes through the point (2,

6).

1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:

m*(-4) = -1

-4m = -1

m = 1/4

2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)

y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))

y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)

y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)

Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2

Mrs. Walters drove 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas. Mr. Walters drove 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas.
Temka [501]

Answer:

Mr.Walters car can go 15 miles on one gallon of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, you first want to put it into a ratio.

480:32

Next, you want to divide.

480/32

After you divide, you get 15. That tells you that you get 15 miles off of one gallon of gas.

En un pozo petrolìfero produce cada dia 2680 barriles de petroleo. Si cada barril contiene 159 litros de petroleo, cuantos litro
Aliun [14]

Answer:

426,120 litros se producen en un día Se producen

12,783,600 litros por mes (para un cálculo de 30 días en un mes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquí, debemos calcular la cantidad en litros de petróleo producido en un pozo petrolero.

Se nos dice que se producen 2.680 barriles por día y cada barril contiene 159 litros de petróleo.

La producción diaria en litros es, por lo tanto, de 159 * 2680 = 426,120 litros.

Ahora, para la producción mensual, supongamos que hay 30 días en un mes, la cantidad en litros producidos por mes sería la cantidad diaria multiplicada por la cantidad de días en un mes.

Matemáticamente, eso sería 30 * 426,120 = 12,783,600 litros
