What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the slope of y -4 = (x - 6).

To do this, compare:

y -4 = (x - 6)

y - k = m(x - h), where m represents the slope of the line.

Here the slope of the given line is 1.

We want the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line, whose slope is 1.  The slope of the perpendicular line is then -1/1, or -1 (think:  "negative reciprocal").

Now we're ready to write the desired equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b:

Since this new line passes through (-2, -2), the following is true:

-2 = (-1)(-2) + b.  Thus, b = -4, and the desired equation is then

y = -x - 4

Select the equation that contains the point (3, -9), and in which the graph of the line has a positive slope.
Kamila [148]
First thing to do is to solve each of these for y.  The first one is y=-4x-3; the second one is y=4x-21; the third one is y=4x+21; the fourth one is y=-4x+3.  From that you can tell the positive slopes are found in the second and third equations.  Those are the ones we will test now for the point (3, -9).  y=-9 and x=3, so let's fill in accordingly.  The second equation filled in is -9=4(3)-21.  Does the left side equal the right when we do the math?  -9=12-21 and -9=-9.  So the second one works.  Just for the sake of completion, let's do the same with the third: -9=4(3)+21.  Does -9=12+21?  Of course it doesn't.  Our equation is the second one above, y+9=4(x-3).

hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labele
Valentin [98]
I would say she should spin the wheel because, if she rolled the dice it would take a long time to get 2 5's on both dice at one time.
Hope this helps!

Identify two composite numbers that each have 8 as a factor.
Dima020 [189]
<span>A composite number, we remember, is a whole number (no decimals or fractions) that can evenly divide (again, into no fractions or decimals) into two numbers other than itself and 1 (sort of the opposite of a prime number). So, 8 needs to be one of the two numbers. Pick another number--any whole number--and multiply it by 8. The result will be your composite number. Two examples: 8 times 6 equals 48. This works as 48 divided by 8 equals 6, both of which are whole numbers other than 48. Another is 72, the product of 8 times 9.</span>
