What is the x intercept that is perpendicular to y=4/3x+1 and passes through (-4,9)

Well, we know the line is perpendicular to that one above.... what is the slope of that one anyway?  well, notice, the equation is already in slope-intercept form   \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{4}{3}}x+1.

so, we're looking for the equation of a line perpendicular to that one, now, since that one has a slope of 4/3, a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope to that one, 

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{4}{3}\\\\
negative\implies  -\cfrac{4}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{4}

so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is -3/4 and runs through -4,9?

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~ -4 &,& 9~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}[x-(-4)]
\\\\\\
y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)

now, the x-intercept for any function is found by zeroing out the "y" and solving for "x", thus

\bf y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)\implies 0-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)\implies -9=-\cfrac{3x}{4}-3
\\\\\\
-6=-\cfrac{3x}{4}\implies -24=-3x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-3}=x\implies 8=x

x = 8, y = 0           ( 8 , 0 )

Which equation is an identity?​
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Option (3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (1).

3(x - 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1

3x - 3 = x + 2x + 2 + 1

3x - 3 = 3x + 3 [Not True]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

Option (2).

x - 4(x + 1) = -3(x + 1) + 1

x - 4x - 4 = -3x - 3 + 1

-3x - 4 = -3x - 2 [Not true]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

Option (3).

2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 1 + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 3 [True]

Therefore, this equation is an identity.

Option (4).

\frac{1}{2}(6x-3)=3(x+1)-x-2

3x - 1.5 = 3x + 3 - x - 2

3x - 1.5 = 2x + 1 [Not true]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

What is the solution to the following system of equations? x − 4y = 6 2x + 2y = 12 (0, 10) (10, 0) (6, 0) (0, 6)
frozen [14]

Answer:

(6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system has equations:

x-4y=6

2x+2y=12

Multiply the top equation by 2 to get:

2x-8y=12

2x+2y=12

Subtract the top equation form the bottom equation to get:

2x-2x+2y--8y=12-12

\implies 10y=0

\implies y=0

Put y=0 into x-4y=6

x-4*0=6

\implies x=6

Therefore the solution is (6,0)
