Answer: B) y=1/4x+7/2

Step 1: Slope

Knowing that the equation will be perpendicular to the one given will only give us the slope. Perpendicular means that the slope will be opposite to what it is now.

The opposite of -4 (the current slope) is 1/4. Even knowing only this will tell us that the answer is b, but I will continue to explain for when no options are given.

Step 2: Y-intercept

Now that we know the slope, the perpendicular aspect of this equation will no longer be of any help.

To find the y-intercept, we need to substitute y and x with the point given.

Our current equation is— y= 1/4x+b

Let’s substitute the point into this. The point (-2,3) tells us that the y-value is 3 and the x-value is -2.

y= 1/4x+ b

3=1/4(-2)+b

3 = -1/2 +b
+1/2 +1/2
__________
3 1/2 =b

Step 3: Improper fraction

Being that it is preferred to leave fractions improper, let’s turn 3 1/2 into an improper fraction. This will turn into 7/2 (comment below if you need an explanation of how to do this)

Final answer: now that we know that the slope is 1/4 and the y-intercept is 7/2, we know that our equation will be y=1/4x+7/2

Hope this helps comment below for more questions:)

A ballplayer catches a ball 3.4s after throwing it vertically upward. with what speed did he throw it, and what height did it re
Daniel [21]

From the equation of motion, we know,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where s= displacement

u= initial velocity

a= gravitational force

t= time

Displacement is 0 since the ball comes back to the same point from where it was thrown.  

A = -9.8m/s^{2} since the ball is thrown upwards.

Plug the known values into the equation.

=> 0=u\left ( 3.4 \right )+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -9.81 \right )(3.4^{2})

Solving for u gives :

u= 16.67 m/ sec ....... equation (1)

At maximum height, final velocity i.e v is 0

Time take to reach the top = \frac{3.4}{2} = 1.7 sec

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

=> 0=(16.67)^{2}+2(-9.81)(s)

Solving for s we get

s= 14.16 m

Bytecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is currently valued at $243 per coin. You want to make an investment and purchase 1 Byteco
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of the coin is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = ab^x

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the value of the coin after x months.

x represents the number of months.

a represents the initial value of the coin.

b represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

a = 243

b = 1 + 15/100 = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15

Therefore, the exponential expression to determine the number of months, x it will take for the coin to attain a certain value, y is expressed as

y = 243(1.15)^x

If y = 1000, it means that

1000 = 243(1.15)^x

1000/243 = 1.15^x

4.115 = 1.15^x

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

log 4.115 = xlog1.15

0.614 = 0.061x

x = 0.614/0.061

x = 10 months

It will take 10 months

Find m angle TUV if m angle TUN=1+38 pi m angle NUV=66^ m angle TUV=105x
ipn [44]

Answer:

m∠TUV = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

m∠TUN = 1 + 38x

m∠NUV = 66°

m∠TUV = 105x

m∠TUV =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

m∠TUV = m∠TUN + m∠NUV

105x = (1 + 38x) + 66

105x = 1 + 38x + 66

Collect like terms

105x – 38x = 1 + 66

67x = 67

Divide both side by 67

x = 67 / 67

x = 1

Finally, we shall determine the value of m∠TUV. This can be obtained as shown below:

m∠TUV = 105x

x = 1

m∠TUV = 105(1)

m∠TUV = 105
