slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (10, 5), and is perpendicular to the graph of 5x + 4y = 8

Let us convert this equation from standard to slope intercept form first.

5x+4y=8

4y=-5x+8

y=-5/4x+2

For the other line to be perpendicular it has to have an opposite reciprocal slope. That would be 4/5. This will make the equation for the new line "y=4/5x+b". We just need to find the y-intercept. Using the point given...

5=4/5(10)+b

5=8+b

b=-3

Answer: y=4/5x-3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept

The equation of the given line is

5x + 4y = 8

Rearranging the equation so that it looks like the slope intercept form, it becomes

4y = -5x + 8

y = -4/5 + 8/4

y = - 4/5/+ 2

Slope, m = -4/5

For two lines to be perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. It means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 5/4.

The line passes through (10, 5). We would determine the intercept by substituting m = 5/4, x = 10 and y = 5 into y = mx + c. It becomes

5 = 5/4 × 10 + c

5 = 25/2 + c

c = 5 - 25/2 = -15/2

The equation becomes

y = 5x/4 - 15/2

1. 3(6a); for a=3<br>2. 5d(4); for d=-2​
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solution for 3(6a)a=3 equation:

Simplifying

3(6a) * a = 3

Remove parenthesis around (6a)

3 * 6a * a = 3

Multiply 3 * 6

18a * a = 3

Multiply a * a

18a2 = 3

Solving

18a2 = 3

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '18'.

a2 = 0.1666666667

Simplifying

a2 = 0.1666666667

Take the square root of each side:

a = {-0.408248291, 0.408248291}

2.Solution for 5d(4)d=-2 equation:

Simplifying

5d(4) * d = -2

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

5 * 4d * d = -2

Multiply 5 * 4

20d * d = -2

Multiply d * d

20d2 = -2

Solving

20d2 = -2

Solving for variable 'd'.

Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '20'.

d2 = -0.1

Simplifying

d2 = -0.1

Reorder the terms:

0.1 + d2 = -0.1 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0

0.1 + d2 = 0.0

A rectangular room has an area of 131 1/4 square feet. The length of the room is 12 1/2 feet. What is the width, in feet, of the
Vsevolod [243]
Before we try to solve anything, let's convert our fractions into decimals, this so if we use a calculator (or writing on paper), it will be much easier to put it.
131 1/4 = 131.25 (divide 100 by the denominator to know each 1/x value).
12 1/2 = 12.50
The formula for the area of a rectangle is L x W, or Length x Width.
Since we are looking for our width, w, we need to divide by the length.
131.25 / 12.5 = 10.5.
Our width is 10 1/2 ft.
I hope this helps!
