<span>ax + by + c = 0
by = - ax - c
y = -a/b (x) - c/b

so slope = </span>-a/b

answer
-a/b

Jean transformed a point by using the rule (x,y) (x-6, y+8). The image point is (–4, 1). Which point is the pre-image?

lubasha [3.4K]

For this case we have the following transformation:
$(x, y) (x-6, y + 8)
$
Using the transformation we have that the image is:
$(-4, 1)
$
Therefore, making use of this information, we can find the coordinates of the pre-image
We have then:
$x-6 = -4
$
From here, we clear x:
$x = -4 + 6

x = 2$
On the other hand we have:
$y + 8 = 1
$
From here, we clear y:
$y = 1-8

y = -7$
The coordinates of the pre-image is:
$(x, y) = (2, -7)
$
Answer:
A point that is the pre-image is:
$(x, y) = (2, -7)$

You unfold chicken wire to make a circular pen. The area of the pen is 78.5 square meters. How many meters of chicken wire do yo

Lelu [443]

Circular pen means you are going to use Area = Pi(r^2).

So 78.5 = pi(r^2). Divide by pi on both sides to get r^2 = 78.5/pi. Take the square root of that to get r or radius = approximately 4.99. If you need an exact answer then use $\sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi } }$ for the next part because you are not done yet.

Plug whatever R you use into the circumference formula of Circumference = 2(pi)(r).

If you use 4.99, you do 2(pi)(4.99) which is approximately 31.35. If you use the exact answer, you do 2(pi)( $\sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi} }$ ) which gives you approximately 31.41.

Either way you'll need about 31 meters of chicken wire but the 31.40796 or ~31.41 is closer to the exact answer.
