HELP. PERPENDICULAR LINES. Solve the problem with clear steps.

Mathematics
1 answer:

Original line: y=1/2x-9

Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes from the original lines. Since the original slope is 1/2, the perpendicular slope will be -2/1 or -2. The numbers switch places and switches from positive to negative.

New line: y=-2x+b

To solve for the y-intercept (b), plug the given coordinates (3,2) into the x and y spots in the equation:

2=-2(3)+b

Now, solve for b.

2=-6+b

Add 6 to both sides.

8=b

The y intercept is 8.

Now, your perpendicular line equation is:

y=-2x+8

I hope this helps :)

Suppose y = 2x + 1 , where x and y are functions of t. (a) if dx/dt = 3, find dy/dt when x = 4. dy dt = (b) if dy/dt = 2, find d
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If y = 2x + 1, then dy/dt = 2(dx/dt).

If y = 2x + 1, then y = 2(40) + 1 when 40 is substituted for x.  y = 81.

(a) if dx/dt = 3, find dy/dt when x = 4:

       Replacing dx/dt with 3 in dy/dt = 2(dx/dt) yields dy/dt = 2(3) = 6.

(b) if dy/dt = 2, find dx/dt when x = 40:

        Replacing dy/dt with 2 in dy/dt = 2(dx/dt) results in 2 = 2(dx/dt), so dx/dt must be 1.

On Monday, Anya read 11 pages of a book in 1/2 hour. On Tuesday, she read 18 pages in 3/4 hour. Did Anya's reading speed increas
Lerok [7]
The way you should go about solving this really depends on how your teacher taught you...However, here's what I would recommend...
You know that 1/2 an hour is equal to 30 minutes, and 3/4 of an hour is equal to 45 minutes.
Using this you can  then solve for how many pages she read per minute by dividing the number of pages read by the number of minutes read:11 pages/ 30 minutes to give you Monday's reading speed,and18 pages/ 45 minutes to give you Tuesday's reading speed.

Next, to calculate a percentage increase you need to do the following:
1. Determine the difference between the speeds (this means you will subtract Monday's reading speed from Tuesday's reading speed.)
2. Next you take that number and divide it by Monday's reading speed.
3. Multiply that answer by 100 to get the percentage.

I'm not going to tell you the speeds, as you should try to attempt to solve it by yourself, and I'm sure you need to show your work. I will however tell you that you should find there was a 3.3% increase from Monday to Tuesday.

If you need more help, let me know!

Which of the following are solutions to 2x^2-8x-90? select all that apply.
Lyrx [107]
<span>Simplifying:
2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:

Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0

Solving
-5 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 5 -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5 -1x = 5

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5

Simplifying
x = -5

Subproblem 2:

Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0

Solving
9 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -9 -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9 -1x = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9

Simplifying x = 9

Solution
x = {-5, 9}</span>
