Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 2).

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines: Their gradients are reciprocals.

This means:

  • -1 ÷ Gradient 1 = Gradient 2
  • Gradient 1 * Gradient 2 = -1

Gradient of the given equation is 3.

-1 / 3 = -1/3

Gradient of the equation we're finding is -1/3

y = -1/3x + c

Substitute the coordinates in to find the value of c

2 = -1/3(6) + c

2 = -2 + c

2 + 2 = c

4 = c

y = -1/3x + 4

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-1) and (8,5)?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

y=3/2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where  m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

we are given two points: (4,-1) and (8,5)

the equation for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

label the points:

x1=4

y1=-1

x2=8

y2=5

now substitute into the equation:

m=(5--1)/(8-4)

m=6/4

m=3/2

the slope of the line is 3/2

here is our equation so far:

y=3/2x+b

we need to find b

since the equation will pass through the points, we can substitute either one into the equation to find b

let's use (4,-1) as an example

substitute into the equation

-1=3/2(4)+b

-1=6+b

-7=b

the y intercept is -7

so the equation is y=3/2x-7

hope this helps!

Dr. Green finds a note from another scientist. It says how many boxes of bug nets they should bring, but there is a smudge over
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is the number in the note is 80 and the first digit is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Green finds a note from another scientist. It says how many boxes of bug nets they should bring, but there is a smudge over the first digit of the number.

Number of nets that they must bring is 320.

Each box contains 4 nets.

There number of boxes necessary to be brought is given by \frac{320}{4} = 80.

Therefore the missing digit of number the number in the note is 8.
