Solve y = -1/2x + 6 create an equation of a line parallel and perpendicular to this line that goes
1 answer:
Answer:
y = -½x + 12; y = 2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. <em>Solve the equation </em>
y = -½x + 6
(a) Let x = 0
y = -½(0) + 6
y = 0 + 6
y = 6
(b) Let y = 0
0 = -½x + 6 Subtract 6 from each side
-6 = -½x Multiply each side by -2
x = 12
The line passes through the points (0, 6) and (12, 0).
2. <em>Equation for parallel line </em>
The line passes through (4, 10).
y = mx + b
m = -½
10 = -½(4) + b
10 = -2 + b Add 1 to each side
b = 12
The equation for the parallel line is y = -½x + 12.
3. <em>Equation for perpendicular line </em>
(a). Find the <em>slope (m₁) of the original line </em>
The equation for the original line is
y = -½x + 6
slope = m₁ = -½
(b). Find the<em> slope (m₂) of the perpendicular line </em>
m₂ = -1/m₁ Substitute the value of m₁
m₂ = 2
(c). Find the <em>equation for the perpendicular line </em>
y = mx + b Substitute the value of m₂
y = 2x + b
The line passes through (4,10).
10 = 2 × 4 + b
10 = 8 + b Subtract 8 from each side
b = 2
y = 2x + 2
In the image, below, the red line is the graph of your original equation.
The green line passing through (4, 10) is the parallel line.
The black line passing through (4, 10) is the perpendicular line.

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.
So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:
D=3h
We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius
2r=3h
Volume of conical pile is given by formula
Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.
Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume
take cube root of both sides
7.78103342467=h
Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.
