Rearrange the equation into standard form:
x+4y-24=0
bring y over to the other side
x-24=-4y
divide both sides by -4y=- \frac{x}{4}+6
We see that the y-intercept is (0,6) (through y=mx+b)
The formula for perpendicular lines is m_{1} × m_{2} =-1, and they must have a common coordinate (this will be (0,6), the y-intercept).
-1÷-x/4=4x, so the slope of the second line will be 4x.  The y-intercept doesn't change as the lines share a common coordinate, so the final equation of the second equation is y+4x+6

Intersecting on the y axis means x=0.
Plug x=0 in the equation to find out the y value of the intercept> 0+4y-24=0, y=6
so the both line passes the point (0,6)

two perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other is -b/a

In this case, the line x+4y-24=0, 4y=-x+24, y=-1/4 x + 6, the slope is -1/4, so the slope of the perpendicular line is 4/1.

the equation is y=4x+6

What is the measure of 3? triangle on right has angles labeled forty-four degrees, sixty-six degrees, and three.?
sveta [45]
[1] First, remember that the sum of the angles in a triangle must add up to 180*.

[2] We are told two of the angles, 44* and 66*, but we are missing the third.

[3] Combining [1] and [2], we know that 44* + 66* + ? = 180*. In other words,
110* + ? = 180*
so,
? = 70*

The missing angle 3 is equal to 70 degrees.

I need more help thank

Answer:

B. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, therefore,

GM/XD = AG/KX

(x - 2)/6 = (x + 9)/9

Cross multiply

9(x - 2) = 6(x + 9)

9x - 18 = 6x + 54

Collect like terms

9x - 6x = 18 + 54

3x = 72

Divide both sides by 3

x = 72/3

x = 24

the snake slithered 2.25 m before resting on a rock. Then the snake slithered twice as far as it did before, to catch a rat. Whe
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25m + 2(2.25m) + 90 cm =

2.25m + 4.50m + 90 cm

6.75m + 90 cm

1 cm = 0.01m...so 90 cm = 90 * 0.01 = 0.9m

6.75m + 0.9m = 7.65m <===
