(Please help I suck at geometry!) Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line AB below in slope-intercept form that passes

through the point (7, 6). Line AB is shown. A is at 0, 1. B is at negative 2, 5. (6 points) y = 0.5x + 2.5 y = 0.5x − 2.5 y = −2x + 20 y = 2x − 20

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5/2

P.S, this isn't geometry really. It's more like algebra :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find equation of line AB

m = (5 - 1)/(-2 - 0)

m = 4/-2

m = -2

y = -2x + 1

Step 2: Find slope of perpendicular line

<em>Take the negative reciprocal of line AB</em>

m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

Step 3: Find <em>b</em>

6 = 1/2(7) + b

6 = 7/2 + b

b = 5/2

Step 4: Rewrite perpendicular equation

y = 1/2x + 5/2

or

y = 0.5x + 2.5

Answer:

  A.  slope = -2; point = (8, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare to the point-slope form for slope m and point (h, k).

  y -k = m(x -h)

You see that k = -3, m = -2, h = 8, so ...

  • the slope is -2
  • the point is (h, k) = (8, -3)

Bitsy Betsy is only 4 and half feet tall. How many inches is she?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

54 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

first you're going to want to put four and a half feet into a decimal (4.5) and multiply it by how many inches are in 1 ft ( 12). after that you're going to want to count how many decimal paces there are (2) and move your decimal at the end of 5400 to 54.00. The extra 0s are not needed.

5 Exam-style ABCD is a kite.
Mnenie [13.5K]

let's recall that in a Kite the diagonals meet each other at 90° angles, Check the picture below, so we're looking for the equation of a line that's perpendicular to BD and that passes through (-1 , 3).

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of BD

y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-1\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/3 and passes through point A

(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-1)}]\implies y-3=-\cfrac{1}{3}(x+1) \\\\\\ y-3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}+3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}
