Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-5,4) and is perpendicular to 6x-36y

Mathematics
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u>

y =  - 6x  - 2

<u>Explanation</u>

The given line is

6x - 36y = k

where k is the missing constant from the given equation( this has no effect on the solution in anyway)

We solve for y to get;

y =  \frac{1}{6}x - \frac{k}{36}

The slope of this line after comparing to

y=mx+c is

m =  \frac{1}{6}

The negative reciprocal is m=-6

The equation of the required line that passes through (-5,4) is given by

y  - 4 = - 6(x -  - 5)

We multiply through by 6 to get:

y - 4 =  - 6x - 30

We expand to get;

y =  - 6x - 26

MrRa [10]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

24 bottles = 16 dollars!

? bottles = 12 dollars

Note:

In these type of Questions, find out  any dollars you could get with 1 bottle

or in simple terms, (first find the unit Rate)

<em>24/16 = 1.5</em>

1 bottle = 1.5 dollars

? bottles = 12 Dollars?

12/1.5

= 8

Write the linear inequality shown in the graph.
Korolek [52]
Fist, in the equation y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the poin on the line that crosses the x-axis; the y-intercept is the value of yThese equations follow that format. 
Y=mx+b
y\geq 3x-4. <-----In this equation, the slope(m)=3 b= -4. 

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the x-axis at y=-4. Knowing that, we can eliminate the answer choices with +4 in the inequality.


The next step, is to pick an (x,y) coordinate that is in the shaded region and plug it into the remaining 2 inequalities. Which ever inequality is true after you solve it, that is the correct answer.  
For example, I'll choose to plug in (-4,4) into the y\geq 3x-4. 
y\geq 3x-4. 
(4)\geq (3(-4))-4. 
(4)\geq (-12)-4. 
(4)\geq -16

So, this statement is true becasue -16 is less than positive 4.  Therefore, the correct answer would be y\geq 3x-4. Hope that helped! Comment back with any further questions!
