Answer:

y = (-4/5)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 5x from both sides:

5x - 4y = 8

5x (-5x) - 4y = 8 (-5x)

-4y = 8 - 5x

Isolate the variable y. Divide -4 from both sides.

(-4y)/-4 = (-5x + 8)/-4

y = (-5x + 8)/-4

y = (5/4)x - 2

The slope intercept form of the given line is: y = 5/4x - 2, with 5/4 being the slope.

To find the slope of the perpendicular line, you must find the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

The perpendicular line is the reciprocal (flip of the fraction) and opposite (change the sign) of the first line's slope (5/4), which means that it is -4/5

-4/5 is your perpendicular line's slope. Plug it into the slope-intercept form equation:

y = mx - 2

y = (-4/5)x - 2

Check to see if they are perpendicular by graphing.  See attached picture.

Answer:

In exercises 3 and 4,write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. 3. (1,3); y=2x-5 4. (-2,1); y= -4x+3 *In exercises 5 and 6, determine which of the lines,if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain! 5. line a passes through (-2,3) and (1,-1). Line b passes through (-3,1) and (1,4). Line c passes through (0,2) and (3,-2). 6. Line a: y= -4x +7 Line b: x= 4y+2 Line c: -4y+x=3 *In exercises 7 and 8, write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line. 7. (2,-3); y= 1/3x -5 8.(6,1); y= -3/5x-5 * In exercises 11-13, determine whether the statement is sometimes,always, or never true. Explain your reasoning! 11. A line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope are parallel. 12. A vertical line is perpendicular to the x-axis. 13. two lines with the same x-intercept are perpendicular.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
If f(x)=1/9x-2
then f^-1(x) will be
lets assume f(x)=y
y=1/9x-2
y+2=1/9x
9(y+2)=x
f^-1(x)=9(y+2)

rest u can do with the same method

An acute angle measures less than π/2 but greater than 0
Ivenika [448]
If you're looking for an angle in between those, basically you have to choose an angle between 0 and 90°. any angle should work (such as 15°, 45°, 60°, 75°, etc.)

Please explain how this digraph works.
dusya [7]

Angles XQL and MQR are congruent because they are vertical angles. So

209 - 13 <em>b</em> = 146 - 4 <em>b</em>

Solve for <em>b</em> :

209 - 13 <em>b</em> = 146 - 4 <em>b</em>

209 - 146 = 13 <em>b</em> - 4<em> b</em>

63 = 9 <em>b</em>

<em>b</em> = 63/9 = 7

Then the measure of angle XQL is

(209 - 13*7)º = 118º

I desperately need help !
Lorico [155]

Answer:

t = 9.57

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use trig functions to solve for the t

Recall the 3 main trig ratios

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse

Cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tan = opposite / adjacent.

( note hypotenuse = longest side , opposite = side opposite of angle and adjacent = other side )

We are given an angle as well as its opposite side length ( which has a measure of 18 ) and we need to find its adjacent "t"

When dealing with the opposite and adjacent we use trig ratio tan.

Tan = opp / adj

angle measure = 62 , opposite side length = 18 and adjacent = t

Tan(62) = 18/t

we now solve for t

Tan(62) = 18/t

multiply both sides by t

Tan(62)t = 18

divide both sides by tan(62)

t = 18/tan(62)

t = 9.57

And we are done!
