Answer:

y = 1/7x + 88/7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx +b

since it is perpendicular you have to get the negative reciprocal of the slope which is 1/7

y = 1/7x + b then you would plug in your points

12 = 1/7(-4) + b and then solve for b

12 = -4/7 + b

+ 4/7

88/7 = b

y = 1/7x + 88/7

When the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units
alexira [117]

Answer:

r=1/π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is defined as:

Area = πr²

Derivating both sides

\frac{dA}{dr}=2πr

\frac{dA}{dt}  =  \frac{dA}{dr} x \frac{dr}{dt}  =  2πr\frac{dr}{dt}

If area of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units. then we have : \frac{dA}{dt}  =2\frac{dr}{dt}

Therefore,

2πr \frac{dr}{dt}  =  2  \frac{dr}{dt}

r=1/π

Find the gradients of line a and b
34kurt

Answer:

3 and - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradients using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

Line A

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{1+2}{1-0} = 3

Line B

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{5-1}{0-1} = \frac{4}{-1} = - 4

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to
slega [8]

Answer: y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1

Given :

4y = 2x + 5

to find the slope , we will write it in the form : y = mx + x

That is

y = \frac{2}{4}x + \frac{5}{4}

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{5}{4}

which means that the slope = \frac{1}{2}

any line that is perpendicular to this line will have slope = -2

using the formula :

y - y_{1} = m (x-x_{1}) , we have

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

y + 1 = - 2 ( x + 1 )

y + 1 = -2x - 2

y = -2x - 2 - 1

y = -2x - 3

1/3 of the beads in a bag are white the rest are grey what is the ratio of grey to white and white to grey
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Grey to white= 2:1

White to grey= 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 of beads in a bag are white, 2/3 are grey. This means for every 1 white bead in the bag, there are 2 grey beads. To write that as a ratio, it just needs a colon in-between the numbers in the order that they ask.
