Answer:
y = 1/2x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.
The first line is y = -2x + 8. Its slope is -2. A line perpendicular to this one will have a slope of 1/2.
Plug this value (1/2) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.
y = 1/2x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
-2 = 1/2(4) + b
To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (4)
-2 = 2 + b
Now, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate b.
-4 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = 1/2x - 4
This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -2x + 8) and contains point (4, -2)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
times you have to remove a red marble
Step-by-step explanation:
8 /30/=3.75
=3.75
Y=-3/2x+4
The slope is -3/2, since Kerry traveled three feet and only went down 2.
The y intercept is 4, since she started four feet above the origin
Answer: 2 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width of the cement path.
Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters
Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters
Along width cement path, the length of region = 
width = 
Area of road with pool = 
Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)
![\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=-14\ or \ w=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%20%3D4w%5E2%2B48w%2B135-%20135%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%3D%204w%5E2%2B48w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%204%20w%5E2%2B48w-112%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B12w-28%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BDivide%20both%20sides%20by%204%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B14w-2w-28%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%28w%2B14%29-2%28w%2B14%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%28w%2B14%29%28w-2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%20w%3D-14%5C%20or%20%5C%20w%3D2)
width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters
Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.
Construction.
When construction workers need measurements that are fractions they need to be able to multiply/add/subtract/divide all of those different fractions and mixed numbers.
I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
