A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?

Leya [2.2K]

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."

5x+4y=2

-5x -5x (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4 /4 /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.

5 = -(35/4) + b -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4) -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75

A hexagonal pyramid is cut by a plane as shown in the diagram. What is the shape of the resulting cross section? see diagram

Alenkasestr [34]

From the diagram you can see that plane cuts each lateral face of hexagonal pyramid and do not cut the base. A hexagonal pyramid has six lateral faces. The intersection of each of these lateral faces with given cutting plane is segment. The figure which consists of these segments is hexagon. This hexagon is not the same as base and even is not similar to the base because the cutting plane is not parallel to the base.

Answer: resulting cross section is a hexagon, correct choice is option 4.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Setler [38]

Piecewise Function is like multiple functions with a speific/given domain in one set, or three in one for easier understanding, perhaps.

To evaluate the function, we have to check which value to evalue and which domain is fit or perfect for the three functions.

Since we want to evaluate x = -8 and x = 4. That means x^2 cannot be used because the given domain is less than -8 and 4. For the cube root of x, the domain is given from -8 to 1. That meand we can substitute x = -8 in the cube root function because the cube root contains -8 in domain but can't substitute x = 4 in since it doesn't contain 4 in domain.

Last is the constant function where x ≥ 1. We can substitute x = 4 because it is contained in domain.

Therefore:

$\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 8} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}$

The nth root of a can contain negative number only if n is an odd number.

$\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 2 \times - 2 \times - 2} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}} \\ \large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = - 2\\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}$

Answer

f(-8) = -2
f(4) = 3
