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

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

y - 4 = (x - 6)

y - 4 = x - 6

y = x - 6 + 4

y = x - 2 (y = mx + C)

Slope m = 1

It is said that the line is perpendicular to a point ( -2, -2)

If two lines are perpendicular, their slope will be negative reciprocal

The negative reciprocal of slope = 1 is -1

Using a slope intercept form as requested by the question

y = mx + C

Inserting the values given

(-2, -2)

We are using point slope form

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

x_1 = -2

y_1 = -2

m = -1

Insert the values

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

y + 2 = -1 ( x + 2)---- point slope form

But we are requested to give the answer in slope intercept form

y = mx + C

We have to open the bracket

y + 2 = -1(x + 2)

y + 2 = -x - 2

y = -x - 2 - 2

y = -x - 4 ( slope - intercept form)

Mkey [24]
The meaning of circumference is to find the distance around a circle or in other words perimeter by using the formula C=2πr or C=<span>πd.

On this case it is asked you to find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 3 meters, so you will use the formula C=2</span><span>πr.

C=2</span><span>πr
C=2(3.14)(3)
C=18.84 meters

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem we know

h^2=x^2+y^2 (where h is the hypotenuse and x and y are sides of a right triangle)

w^2+18^2=30^2

w^2=30^2-18^2

w^2=900-324

w^2=576

w=24 in
