Answer:

K = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by determining the gradient of the equation 5y + 4x = 8. This can be obtained as follow:

5y + 4x = 8

Rearrange

5y = 8 – 4x

5y = –4x + 8

Comparing 5y = –4x + 8 with y = mx + c, the gradient m is –4

Next, we shall determine the gradient of the line perpendicular to the line with equation 5y = 8 – 4x.

This can be obtained as follow:

For perpendicular lines, their gradient is given by:

m1 × m2 = – 1

With the above formula, we can obtain the gradient of the line as follow:

m1 × m2 = – 1

m1 = –4

–4 × m2 = – 1

Divide both side by –4

m2 = –1/–4

m2 = 1/4

Finally, we shall determine the value of k as follow:

Coordinate => (k, 4) and (3, –6)

x1 coordinate = k

y1 coordinate = 4

x2 coordinate = 3

y2 coordinate = –6

Gradient (m) = 1/4

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

1/4 = (–6 – 4) / (3 – K)

1/4 = –10 /(3 – K)

Cross multiply

3 – K = 4 × –10

3 – K = –40

Collect like terms

– K = – 40 –3

–k = –43

Divide both side by – 1

K = –43/–1

k = 43

What is an independent variable <br><br>what is an dependent variable <br><br><br>​
N76 [4]

An independednt variable is a variable that doesnt need any support Dependent is where there is variable, but it depends on something else.

For example,

y=2x+1

y is dependent, becuase it depend on 2x+1

x is independent, beucase it doesnt need to depend on anything.

Find the value of x, y, and z.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

x = 61°

y = 61°

z = 58°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle, measures of two sides are equal. So, measures of angles opposite to them are also equal.

Therefore,

x + x + 58 \degree = 180 \degree \\  \\ 2x = 180 \degree - 58 \degree \\  \\ 2x = 122 \degree \\  \\ x =  \frac{122 \degree}{2}  \\  \\ x = 61\degree  \\  \\ y = 61\degree  \\  ( \angle s \: in \: the \: alternate \: segment) \\ \\ z = 58\degree  \\  ( \angle s \: in \: the \: alternate \: segment) \\
