B^2 - 4ac > 0
2x^2 +7x -1 =0
b =7 a=2 c= -1
b^2 - 4ac = 7^2 - 4*2*(-1)
= 49 + 8
= 57

find the point-slope equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=2x+5 passing through the point (1,4). (please include solu

pishuonlain [190]

First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5$ .

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}$

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)$

I need this answer as soon as possible

wel

The perimeter is the distance all the way around. So it's the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides.

From the picture, you can clearly see the lengths of all 4 sides.
