Write the equation of line perpendicular to y = 4 that passes through (5, 2).

Mathematics

NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
4 0
Answer:
x=5

Explanation;
y=4 is a horizontal line, and we know this because all we have is the y intercept; 4 (the y-intercept is the point on the line that intercepts the y axis) There is also no x value. This is the equation for a horizontal line:

y=b
B is the y-intercept.

A line perpendicular to a horizontal line would be a vertical line. This is the equation for a vertical line:

x=d
D is the x-intercept (the point on the line that intercepts the x axis)

So to answer the question, we just need to plug the x value of the point (5,2) into x=d.

(5,2)-> 5 is the x coordinate

Therefore, x=5

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.

What is the name of the relationship between ∠1 ​ and ∠5?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Two lines are crossed by another line (called Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. There are two parallel lines interest by the Transversal and ∠1 ​ and ∠5 are made on the matching corners . Thus ∠1 ​ and ∠5 are the corresponding angles .

Find the value of x.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a trapezoid equals one half of the sum of the bases

AC is a median and EB and DF are the bases.

hence AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

We are given that EB = 13 and that AC = 19. And we need to find DF

To do so we plug in what we are given and solve for DF

AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

AC = 19, EB = 13

19 = 1/2(13 + DF)

Now solve for DF

* Multiply both sides by 2*

19 * 2 = 38

1/2(13 + DF) * 2 ( the 1/2 and 2 cancel out and we're left with 13 + DF )

We then have 38 = 13 + DF

* Subtract 13 from both sides *

38 - 13 = 13 - 13 + DF

We get that DF = 25

Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 6) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4.
zysi [14]
Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. 

x = 4 has a slope of undefined since it is a vertical line.

It's undefined because 1/0 = undefined. We can't divide by 0.

The opposite reciprical of 1/0 is -0/1, which equals to 0.

Any line with a slope of 0 is:

y = 0x + b
y = b

This line goes through the point of (2, 6).

Since the equation starts with y = something, we have to use the y-value of the point it goes through. The point is in the form of (x, y).

6 is in the y-value.

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = 6.
