Find an equation of the line through the given point and perpendicular to the given line

Mathematics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

For two lines to be perpendicular, the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line. The equation of the given line is

y = 2x - 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form,

Slope, m = 2

This means that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is -1/2

The given points are (-3, 5)

To determine c,

We will substitute m = -1/2, y = 5 and x = - 3 into the equation, y = mx + c

It becomes

5 = -1/2 × - 3 + c

5 = - 3/2 + c

c = 5 + 3/2

c = 13/2

The equation becomes

y = -x/2 + 13/2

16^5/4•16^1/4/(16^1/2)^2
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The simplified expression is 16^-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:.

16^5/4•16^1 /4/ (16^1/2)^2

The dot means multiplication. The expression is rewritten as

16^5/4 × 16^1/4 / (16^1/2)^2

Recall the following rules of indices

1) y^a × y^b = y^(a+b)

2) (y^a)^b = y^ab

y^b/ y^a = y^(b-a)

Applying these rules of indices

16^5/4 × 16^1/4= 16^((5/4×1/4) = 16^((5/16)

(16^1/2)^2= 16^ 1/2×2 = 16^1 = 16

Therefore

16^5/4 × 16^1/4 / (16^1/2)^2

= 16^(5/16) /16

=16^(5/6) × 16^-1

= 16^ (5/6)-1

= 16^-1/6)

,The simplified expression is 16^-1/6
