What is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line y = 3/4x + 3 that includes the point (-3, -3)

1 answer:

6 0

A perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal slope. This means that the new line will have a slope of -4/3x. Plug in x and y into the equation y=Mx +b where m is the slope (-4/3):
-3=(-3/4)(-3) + b
and isolate b:
b-3=(-3/4)(-3)
b=(-3/4)(-3) +3
b=9/4+3
b=21/4

The final equation is y= -4/3x + 21/4
The y intercept is (21/4).

What is 8 7/9 − 3 2/3 =

maks197457 [2]

[|] Answer [|]

$\boxed{5 \ 1/9}$

[|] Explanation [|]

Rewrite the equation with parts separated:

8 + 7/9 - 3 - 2/3

Solve the whole number parts:

8 - 3 = 5

Solve the fraction parts:

7/9 - 2/3

Find LCD of 7/9 & 2/3

7/9 - 6/9 = 1/9

5 + 1/9 = 5 1/9

$\boxed{[|] \ Eclipsed \ [|]}$

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (16, 30) and passes through the origin

Veronika [31]

To solve this question, we have to find the equation of the circle with given center and where it passes. Doing this, we get that the equation of the circle is:

$(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = 1156$
