Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

y=0.5x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

Copy the  equation.

x-2y=8

Subtract x from both sides.

-2y=-x-8

Divide both sides by -2.

y=0.5x+4

Now we know the slope is 0.5.

Any line with a slope of 0.5 will be perpendiculr to the original line.

One that you can use is y=0.5x+40.

8. In right triangle LMN shown below, altitude MK is drawn to LN from M. IF LM = 12 and LK =10, then
Elena-2011 [213]

The length of the KN is 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from Pythagoras theorem  

In a right angle ΔLMN  

Base² + perpendicular² = hypotenuse ²

From the properties of triangle we also know that altitudes are ⊥ on the sides they fall.

Hence ∠LKM = ∠NKM = 90 °

Given values-

LM=12

LK=10

Let KN be “s”

⇒LN= LK + KN

⇒LN= 10+x        eq 1

Coming to the Δ LKM

⇒LK²+MK²= LM²

⇒MK²= 12²-10²

⇒MK²= 44           eq 2

Now in Δ MKN

⇒MK²+ KN²= MN²

⇒44+s²= MN²       eq 3

In Δ LMN

⇒LM²+MN²= LN²

Using the values of MN² and LN² from the previous equations

⇒12² + 44+s²= (10+s) ²

⇒144+44+s²= 100+s²+20s

⇒188+s²= 100+s²+20s    cancelling the common term “s²”

⇒20s= 188-100

∴ s= 4.4

Hence the value of KN is 4.4
