Bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what is the slope of AB anyway?

\bf A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4})
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-4-4}{0-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{-4-4}{0+2}\implies -4

so the perpendicular line to point Z will have a slope of

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{-4\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-4}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}}}

so, the equation of such line will then be

\bf Z(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad \qquad 
slope =  m\implies \cfrac{1}{4}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-2=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-0)\implies y-2=\cfrac{1}{4}x

and now, let's test those points,

\bf (\stackrel{x}{-4}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{1})\qquad \qquad \boxed{1}-2=\cfrac{1}{4}\boxed{-4}\implies -1=\cfrac{-4}{4}\implies -1=-1\quad \checkmark

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the line AB</u>

we know that

the formula to find the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}  

we have

A(-2,4)\\B(0,-4)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{(-4-4)}{(0+2)}  

m=\frac{(-8)}{(0+2)}  

m1=-4  

Step 2

<u>Find the slope of the line that passes through point Z and is perpendicular to line AB</u>

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

m2=-\frac{1}{m1}

we have

m1=-4  

substitute

m2=\frac{1}{4}

Step 3

<u>Find the equation of the line</u> <u>that passes through point Z and is perpendicular to line AB</u>

we have

Z(0,2)\\m2=\frac{1}{4}

we know that

the equation of the line into point -slope form is equal to

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

substitute

y-2=\frac{1}{4}*(x-0)

y=\frac{1}{4}x+2

<u>Verify which point is on the line that passes through point Z and is perpendicular to line AB</u>

we know that  

If a point is on the line, then the coordinates of the point must be satisfy the equation of the line

we are going to proceed to verify each point to determine the solution

Substitute the values of x and y of the point in the equation of the line. If the equation is true, then the point is on the line

Step 4

point A(-4,1)

1=\frac{1}{4}*(-4)+2

1=1 --------> the equation is true

therefore

the point A(-4,1) is on the line

Step 5

point B(1,-2)

-2=\frac{1}{4}*(1)+2

-2=\frac{9}{4} --------> the equation is not true

therefore

the point B(1,-2) is not on the line

Step 6

point C(2,0)

0=\frac{1}{4}*(2)+2

0=\frac{5}{2} --------> the equation is not true

therefore

the point C(2,0) is not on the line

Step 7

point D(4,4)

4=\frac{1}{4}*(4)+2

4=3 --------> the equation is not true

therefore

the point D(4,4) is not on the line

<u>the answer is the option</u>

A(-4,1)

Which of the following would be equivalent to 11 to the 8th power over 11 to the 3rd power?
myrzilka [38]
None of the above. 11^8/11^3 is 11^5 since you will just subtract exponents. The numerical value is 161051
although you should have an option that either is 11^5 or equals 11^5 like 11^15/11^10 for example

Answer:

x=9 and y=115

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve y=9x+34;y=16x−29

Steps:

I will solve your system by substitution.

y=9x+34;y=16x−29

Step: Solvey=9x+34for y:

Step: Substitute9x+34foryiny=16x−29:

y=16x−29

9x+34=16x−29

9x+34+−16x=16x−29+−16x(Add -16x to both sides)

−7x+34=−29

−7x+34+−34=−29+−34(Add -34 to both sides)

−7x=−63

−7x

−7

=

−63

−7

(Divide both sides by -7)

x=9

Step: Substitute9forxiny=9x+34:

y=9x+34

y=(9)(9)+34

y=115(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this helps :)
