Answer: y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1, that is , if m_{1} is the slope of the first line and m_{2} is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then m_{1}m_{2} = -1

The equation of the line given :

y = 1/2x - 1

comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept , it implies that

m_{1} = 1/2

Therefore :

m_{2} = -2

To find the equation of the line with slope -2  and passes through the point ( 3 , 4 ) we will use the formula

y-y_{1} = m (x-x_{1} )

y - 4 = -2 ( x - 3 )

y - 4 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 6 + 4

y = -2x + 10

A swimming pool is a rectangular prism. The pool is 36 feet long and 20 feet wide. What is the total amount of water, in cubic f
Sliva [168]

Answer:

2880\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total amount of water needed could be determined by using the volume formula which is shown below:

Volume = L \times W \times D

where

L = length,

W = width,

and D = depth.

Now putting the values to the above formula

Volume = (36\ ft) \times (20\ ft) \times (4\ ft) \\\\= 2880\ ft^{3}                            

Therefore, the  total amount of water needed is 2880\ ft^{3}

We simply applied the above formula
