Answer:

The equation of line C would be y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation, we first need to find the slope. Since the original line has a slope of 2 and all perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know the new line to have a slope of -1/2.

Now we use that along with the given point in point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/2(x - 4)

y - 2 = -1/2x + 2

y = -1/2x + 4

A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 3 feet
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

let length of ladder =x feet

height of ladder will be=x-3 feet

ground distance of ladder bottom to building=15 feet

Applying Pythagorean relation

a²+b²=c²

where a=15 feet b=x-3 feet and c=x feet thus

x²-15²=(x-3)²

x²-225=x²-6x+9

collect like term

x²-x²-225-9=-6x

-234= -6x

x= 39 feet length of ladder

distance from ground to top of ladder= 39-3=36 feet
