to find the perpendicular equation to another line, you need to find the inverse. (Basically, switch the x and y around and solve for y)

f(x)=6x+5

y=6x+5

x=6y+5

x-5=6y

y=(x-5)/6

f⁻¹(x)=(1/6)x-(5/6) the bolded number is the new, perpendicular slope! ^^

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal

so the slope, 6, will become -1/6

A 10 foot ladder is placed 4-feet from the edge of a building. How far up the building does the ladder reach? Round your answer
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

9.2 feet.  b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

This uses the Pythagorean Theorem

Do you notice that the ladder forms a right triangle with the building.

10 feet  =  hypotenuse length

4 feet  = bottom leg length

x feet = height of building

so   10^2 = 4^2  + x^2

100 = 16 + x^2

84 = x^2

x = root(84)  = 9.16515  feet   about  9.2 feet
