Answer:

y = 2/7x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off by putting the original equation into slope-intercept form. Subtract 7x from both sides, then divide both sides by -2. Your new equation should be y = -7/2x - 8. It's important to know that when two lines are perpendicular, their slopes (m) are opposite reciprocals of each other. So -7/2 becomes 2/7. The first part of your final equation is y = 2/7x + b.

Next, we need to find the y intercept (b). You need to plug the x and y values from the given coordinate point (-7,5) into your final equation. You should end up with: 5 = 2/7(-7) + b. Then, solve for b.

5 = -14/7 + b

5 = -2 + b

7 = b

Finally, plug the b value into your final equation and you will have your answer.

An abstract sculpture in the form of a triangle has a base 21 meters and a height of 12 meters. Find the are of the triangle.

charle [14.2K]

The area of a triangle could be determined using the following formula
$\boxed{a= \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h}$

plug in the numbers
$a = \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 12$
$a = \frac{1}{2} \times 252$
$a= \frac{252}{2}$
a = 126

The area of the triangle is 126 square meters

Express sin UU as a fraction in simplest terms.

alukav5142 [94]

The expression of sinU as a fraction is 12/13

Find the diagram attached.

To get the fraction represented by sinU, we will use the SOH CA TOA identity.

From the diagram;

Hypotenuse = SU = 13

Opposite = ST = 12 (angle opposite to m<U)

Since sin theta = opp/hyp

SinU = ST/SU

SinU = 12/13

Hence the expression of sinU as a fraction is 12/13
