Answer:

y=-1.4x+9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

If A = (-3,-1) and B = (4,4),  the slope of AB is

\text{Slope}_{AB}=\dfrac{-1-4}{-3-4}=\dfrac{-5}{-7}=\dfrac{5}{7}

Two perpendicular lines have slopes that have product of -1:

\text{Slopee}_{AB}\cdot \text{Slope}_{BC}=-1\\ \\\dfrac{5}{7}\cdot \text{Slope}_{BC}=-1\\ \\\text{Slope}_{BC}=-\dfrac{7}{5}=-1.4

The equation of the line BC with slope -1.4 and passing through the point B(4,4) is

y-4=-1.4(x-4)\\ \\y-4=-1.4x+5.6\\ \\y=-1.4x+9.6

At noon joyce drove to the lake at 30 mph, but she made the long walk back home at 4 mph. how many hours did she walk if she was
lina2011 [118]
By definition we have the following equation:
 t = d / v
 Where,
 t: time
 d: distance
 v: speed
 For this case we have:
 d / 30 + d / 4 = 17
 Rewriting we have:
 2d + 15d = 17 (60)
 17d = 17 (60)
 d = 60 mi
 Then, the walking time is
 t = d / v
 t = 60/4
 t = 15 hours
 Answer:
 
She walked
 
t = 15 hours

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles exceeds the difference of their measure by 86º. Find the measure of each ang
katrin2010 [14]
We will translate the given statement in the problem into 
x + y  = 90 
x - y =  90 - 86 = 4 where x and y are the angles that are complementary. solving simultaneously, x = 47 degreesy = 43 degrees.

What is the solution set to F(x)=x4+2? Using small values, form a list of ordered pairs.
Pavel [41]

The  solution set to F(x)=x^4+2 using the set of domains are 3, 18, 83 and 258

<h3>Function and values</h3>

Functions are way by which the domain of X is written in terms of the codomain Y.

Given the function below;

F(x)=x^4+2

Using the list of domains given as {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Substitute the domains to determine their corresponding co domains

f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 2

f(-1) = 1  + 2

f(-1) = 3

f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 2

f(-2) = 16  + 2

f(-2) = 18

f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 2

f(-3) = 81  + 2

f(-3) = 83

f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 2

f(-4) = 256  + 2

f(-4) = 258

Hence the  solution set to F(x)=x^4+2 using the set of domains are 3, 18, 83 and 258
