What is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=(4/9)x-2 that passes through the point (4,3)?

<span>y=(4/9)x-2
This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope.
A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the slope.
So if the slope here is 4/9, then the perpendicular line's slope will be -9/4.

Now that you have the slope (-9/4) and a point (4, 3), you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
y - y</span>₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = (-9/4)(x - 4)
y - 3 = (-9/4)x + 9
y = (-9/4)x + 12

So the answer will be:
C. <span>y= -(9/4)x+12</span>

What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: 2mp

Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water

Let "c" represent the speed of the current

Let "t" represent time

Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t

Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t

(b+c)*3=24

(b-c)*4=16

3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8

4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4

Use Elimination method

b+c=8

b-c= 4 Subtracting

=====

2c=4

find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2

if c=2, substitute to get b

b+2=8

-2=-2

======

b=6

Speed of boat in still water =6mph

rate of current=2mp

**A rock dropped from a 100 foot tower.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2.83 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$h(t)=-16t^2+10t+100$

When a rock reached the ground then h(t)=0

$-16t^2+10t+100=0$

$16t^2-10t-100=0$

Using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4\times 16\times (-100)}}{2(16)}$

$t=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100+6400}}{32}$

$t=\frac{10+\sqrt{6500}}{32}=2.83$

$t=\frac{10-\sqrt{6500}}{32}=-2.2$

Time cannot be negative .Therefore, negative value of t can not be possible.

Hence, the rock takes 2.83 sec to reach the ground.
