The equation y = 6x + 2 is in the format which is called the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope. Therefore the slope here is 6.
For the line perpendicular, the slope of it is a negative reciprocal from the original slope, that is m(perpendicular) = -1/m

Slope the line perpendicular is m(perpendicular) = -1/6. The answer is C.

The correct answer is C. -1/6, because (-1/6)* (6)= -1.

Complete the equation of the line through ( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 )

irinina [24]

Answer:

Therefore the equation of the line through ( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 ) is

13x - 4y = 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 4 ,-8)

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (8 , 5)

To Find:

Equation of Line AB =?

Solution:

Equation of a line passing through Two points A( x₁ , y₁) and B( x₂ , y₂)is given by the formula

$(y - y_{1} )=(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} })\times(x-x_{1}) \\$

Substituting the given values in a above equation we get

$(y-(-8))=(\frac{5-(8)}{8-4})\times (x-4)\\ \\(y+8)=\frac{13}{4}(x-4)\\\\4(y+8)=13(x-4)\\4y+32=13x-52\\13x-4y=84...............\textrm{which is the required equation of the line AB}$

Therefore the equation of the line through ( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 ) is

13x - 4y = 84.

PLEASE HELP!!! Solve for X... Cos30=x/8 Answer MUST be in radical form. NO DECIMALS.

Ivenika [448]

cos(30)=x/8

Rewrite the equation as

x/8=cos(30)

Multiply both sides of the equation by

⋅

x/8=8⋅cos(30)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Tap for more steps...

x=4√3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

x=4√3

Decimal Form:

x=6.9282032

Write the perimeter of each figure as a trinomial. Must show your work.

noname [10]

Answer:

P = 2n + 8m - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A trinomial is an expression or equation that has three terms. A term is when between the numbers or variables, the operations are neither subtraction nor addition, or when there is only one number.

If two terms have the same variable, called like terms, they can be combined by addition or subtraction.

The perimeter is the total length of all the sides.

The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is $P = s_{1} + s_{2} + s_{3}$ for each of the three sides.
