It passes through (-1,4) and is perpendicular to the x axis

1 answer:

6 0

line x=4 is perpendicular to x-axis. So line, which is perpendicular to x=4 line, will be parallel to x-axis, therefore it is perpendicular to y-axis. Line, which is parallel to x-axis, has zero slope. Its equation, therefore, is y=0x+b or simply y=b. Since it shall pass through point (1,-4), its coordinates must satisfy the line equation. x does not matter, since there is no x in equation y=b, thus only y-coordinate matters. Plug in -4 into the equation, to obtain -4=b. So y=-4 is your answer. Answer: y=-4

3x + ky = 8

sattari [20]

Answer:

(a): x is 3 and ky is -1

(b): k is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)

x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)

Then multiply equation (a) by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)

Then equation (c) + equation (b):

${ \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}$

Then ky :

${ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}$

${ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}$

Write -12 7/8 as a decimal. (NEED ASAP WITH WORK)

seropon [69]

7/8 can be converted to .875 because 1/8 is .125 and .125*7=.875. Add -12 to it so the answer is -12.875

72 is equal to 80% of a number n. Write and solve and equation to find n. Write the percent as a decimal

muminat

Hey there!!

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

80% of 'n' = 72

0.8n=72

n = 72/0.8

n = 90

Hence, the number is 80!

Hope it helps!

In the morning, the temperature in Westfield City was

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Martin's answer is wrong. The afternoon temperature in Westfield city is -10°F.

Given,

The temperature in Westfield city in morning = -2°F

The drop down temperature by afternoon = 8°F

We have to find the temperature in afternoon:

Temperature in afternoon = Temperature in morning - Drop down temperature

= -2 - 8 = -10

The afternoon temperature in Westfield city is -10°F

Martin subtracted like:

-2 - (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6

This is wrong.

That is,

We can conclude like:

Martin's answer is wrong. The temperature in Westfield city in afternoon is -10°F
