Passing through (-1, -7) and perpendicular to the line with equation 4x + 5y = 31

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
4 0
4x + 5y = 31
5y = -4x + 31
y = -4/5x + 31/5...the slope here is -4/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is 5/4 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/4
(-1,-7)...x = -1 and y = -7
now we sub and find b, the y int
-7 = 5/4(-1) + b
-7 = -5/4 + b
-7 + 5/4 = b
-28/4 + 5/4 = b
- 23/4 = b

so ur perpendicular line will be : y = 5/4x - 23/4

larisa [96]

Answer:

45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, so find 3/4 of 12.  

Divide 12 by 4 to get 1/4 of 12. That is 3.  

3/4 is 3 of those, so multiply it by 3 to get 9.

So, she will have biked 9 miles.

A tour group charges a flat price for a tour of up to 20 people. The cost per person varies inversely with the number of people.
natita [175]
5 people -  pay 135 each
15 people - pay  x each
----------------------------------
5 : 15 = x : 135
15 x = 5 * 135
15 x = 675
x = 675 : 15
x = 45

Slope Intercept Form And Equations From Graphs
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

1. Choice B

2.  Choice C

3.  X=-2

4.  Choice A

5. y = 5/2 x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  

   the slope is down 3 over 2     m =-3/2

point slope form

y-y1= m (x-x1)

y-y1 = -3/2 (x-x1)

Choice B


2.  (-3,-1)  (1/2,2)

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2--1)/(1/2--3)  = (2+1)/(1/2+3) = 3/(3.5) =  multiply top and bottom by 2

  m = 6/7

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--1 = 6/7 (x--3)

y+1 =6/7 (x+3)

multiply by 7

7y+7 = 6(x+3)

7y+7 = 6x+18

subtract 7y from each side

7 = 6x-7y+18

subtract 18 from each side

-11=6x-7y

Choice C


3.  x=-2

This is a vertical line, the value of x never changes


4.   (-1,2) (1,-4)

slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

      = (-4-2)/(1--1) = -6/(1+1) = -6/2 = -3

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

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

y-2 = -3(x+1)

y-2 = -3x-3

add 2 to each side

y = -3x-1

Choice A


5.  (-2,0)  (0,5)

the y intercept is 5

slope is change in y over change in x

slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  = (0-5)/(-2-0) = -5/-2 = 5/2

slope intercept form

y= mx+b

y = 5/2 x + 5

A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the question x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0. Where did the student go wrong?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D  In step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial:  x² - 2x - 15 = 0

Step 1:  factor the polynomial ⇒ (x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

Step 2:  x + 3 = 0  and  x - 5 = 0

Step 3:  x = -3  and x = 5

x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

⇒ x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

⇒ x = 5
