Answer:

y= -1*x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

x=4 is a function that always has the value 4 for the x-axis, no matter y variable, this a vertical function.

Perpendicular Lines are those with the following condition:

y=a*x+b (1)

y=c*x+d (2)

Where a and c are the respective slope

If These two lines are perpendicular, then

a=- 1/c

Using those principles we have that the slope for our needed line has to be -1, since the slope for the first line is 1 (the coefficient of x is 1, in the line x=4)

Lets use the given point (5,7) in the equation (2)

7=-1 * 5 + d

resulting d=12

so, our equation for the line is y= -1*x +12

the local hardware store wants to increase their inventory. Last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost them 300.how much would 45 s
Harman [31]
One way of doing this is to write the equation of ratios (15 screwdrivers / 45 screwdrivers) = ($300 / x).    Solve this equation for x.  To do this, you might try multiplying both sides of this equation by x to eliminate fractions.

Another way is to obtain the unit cost of each screwdriver and then multiply the result by 45 screwdrivers.

Are the following polygons similar explain
ra1l [238]
<h3>Answer: No, they are not similar.</h3>

Technically, we don't have enough info so it could go either way.

==========================================================

Explanation:

We can see that the sides are proportional to each other, but we don't know anything about the angles. We need to know if the angles are the same. If they are, then the hexagons are similar. If the angles are different, then the figures are not similar.

Right now we simply don't have enough info. So they could be similar, or they may not be. The best answer (in my opinion) is "not enough info". However, your teacher likely wants you to pick one side or the other. We can't pick "similar" so it's best to go with "not similar" until more info comes along the way.
