Find the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x-7y=42 which passes through the point (-3,-8)

For perpendicular lines, m1m2 = -1 or m2 = -1/m1; where m1 and m2 are the slopes of the lines.
Here line 1 is 3x - 7y = 42
7y = 3x - 42
y = 3/7 x - 6; Hence m1 = 3/7
m2 = -1/(3/7) = -7/3
Required equation y - y1 = m2(x - x1)
y - (-8) = -7/3(x - (-3))
y + 8 = -7/3(x + 3)
y + 8 = -7/3 x - 7
y = -7/3 x - 7 - 8
y = -7/3 x - 15

The two lines y= 6x+15 and y= mx+4 intersect at x= -2. What is the y-coordinate of their intersection point

taurus [48]

Answer:

The y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

That is y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two lines are y=6x+15 and y=mx+4

Given that the two lines intersect at x=-2

To find the y coordinate of their intersection point :

Equating the two lines

6x+15=mx+4

6x+15-mx-4=0

6x-mx+11=0

(6-m)x+11=0

At x=-2 (6-m)x+11=0

(6-m)(-2)+11=0

(6-m)(-2)=-11

$6-m=\frac{11}{2}$

$-m=\frac{11}{2}-6$

$-m=\frac{11-12}{2}$

$-m=\frac{-1}{2}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Substitute the value $m=\frac{1}{2}$ in y=mx+4 we get

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+4$

At x=-2 $y=\frac{1}{2}(-2)+4$

$=-1+4$

$=3$

Therefore y=3

Therefore the y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

Help? Thanks!!!!!!!! If possible show work please!

Answer:

$B =102$

$Y = 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (47):

To solve for B, we have:

$B + 50 + 28 = 180$ --- sum of angles in a triangle

This gives

$B + 78 = 180$

Collect like terms

$B =- 78 + 180$

$B =102$

Solving (48):

To solve for Y, we have:

$X + Y+ Z = 180$ --- sum of angles in a triangle

This gives

$Y = 180 - X - Z$

Where

$W+ X=180$ -- angle on a straight line

Solve for X

$X=180 -W$

$X=180 -100 = 80$

So, we have:

$Y = 180 - X - Z$

$Y = 180 - 80 - 68$

$Y = 32$

What is the distance from X to Y?

densk [106]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

$\sqrt{((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)}$

$\sqrt{(9-0)^2 + (-6-6)^2}$

$\sqrt{81 + 144}$

$\sqrt{225}$
