Is y= -9/5x + 1/5 perpendicular to y= 5/9x + 2/9

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago

The given lines are perpendicular to each other.

Further explanation:

Given lines are:

Line 1: y= -9/5x + 1/5

Line 2:  y= 5/9x + 2/9

As the lines are in slope=intercept form, the co-efficient of x are their slopes

Let m1 be the slope of line 1 and m2 be the slope of line 2

Then

m_1=-\frac{9}{5}\\m_2=\frac{5}{9}\\m_1.m_2=-\frac{9}{5}*\frac{5}{9}\\m_1.m_2=-1

As we can see that the product of slopes of both lines is -1. The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

The given lines are perpendicular to each other.

Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 200° and 50°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 4:7. What are the measures of those t
Andrews [41]

Answer:

all angles will be 200, 50 , 40 and 70 - hope this helped :)

Step-by-step explanation:

everything equals to 360 after added together

360 - 250 = 110

110 divided by 11 = 10

4:7 (x 10)

40:70

the other angels will be 40 and 70

wat is the explicit formula for the geometric sequence with this recursive formula? a1=-6 and an=an-1*(1/4)
TEA [102]

Answer:

an = -6*(1/4)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the recursive formula for the given geometric sequence is:

a1 = -6

an = (an-1) * (1/4)

With the above we can assume that:

r = 1/4

following the rule of the explicit formula that is given by:

an = a1 * (r) ^ (n-1)

we substitute and we have:

an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)

Therefore the explicit formula from the given data would be:

an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)

The expression (7-4i)-(3-12i) simplified is
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

8i + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add/subtract like terms:

7 - 3

= 4

-4i - (-12i)

-4i + 12i

= 8i

Add these together:

8i + 4

So, the simplified expression is 8i + 4

A line contains the points (3,9) and (-1,1) what is the equation of the line?
kirza4 [7]
To find the equation of a line using two given set of points, you must first find slope. To do so, we must use the slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 

In this case:
1 - 9 / -1 - 3 = -8 / -4 
- 8 / -4 = 2 (simplified) 

Now we can use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) 

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

In order to make 3x - y = 6 in slope intercept form, we must isolate y.

- y = -3x + 6
Note: y cannot be negative, so we'll multiply both sides by -1 
( -1 ) - y = - 3x + 6 ( -1 ) = y = 3x -6
