Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===============================$

$\text{We have the equation:}\ y=-2x+4\to m_1=-2.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}.\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b.\\\\\text{Put the coordinate of the point (4, 2) to the equation:}\\\\2=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b\\\\2=2+b\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\0=b\to b=0.\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x$

9. A ladder of length 23 feet leans against the side of a building. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 76. Find the distanc

irakobra [83]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 22.32 feet

$\quad\rule{300pt}{1pt}$

<h3>Solution:</h3>

we are given that , a ladder is placed against a side of building , which forms a right angled triangle . We wre given one side of a right angled triangle ( hypotenuse ) as 23 feet and the angle of elevation as 76 ° . We can find the Perpendicular distance from the top of the ladder go to the ground by using the trigonometric identity:

$\qquad\quad\bull ~{\boxed{\bf{ Sin\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}}} }~\bull$

Here,

hypotenuse = 23 feet
$\theta$ = 76°
Value of Sin $\theta$ = 0.97
Perpendicular = ?

$\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { sin\theta =\dfrac{P}{H}}$

$\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { sin76° =\dfrac{P}{23}}$

$\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { 0.97=\dfrac{P}{23}}$

$\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {P = 0.97 \times 23 }$

$\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { P = 22.32}$

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ~Hence, the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground is 22.32 feet !

Determine algebraically whether the function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. f as a function of x is equal to x plus quan

Svetach [21]

y = x + 4/x

replace x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. if you do, the function is even. replace y with -y AND x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. If you do, the function is odd. A function can be either even or odd but not both. Or it can be neither one. Let's first replace x with -x

y = -x + 4/-x = -x - 4/x = -(x + 4/x)

we see that this function is not the same because the original function has been multiplied by -1 . Let's replace y with -y and x with -x

-y = -x + 4/-x

-y = -x - 4/x

-y = -(x + 4/x)

y = x + 4/x

This is the original equation so the function is odd.

What is the approximate distance from Denver to Chicago? Use a proportional relationship to solve the problem. Show your work.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$d = 1002.6\,mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximately 5 units are equal to 557 miles and the scaled distance between Denver to Chicago is 9 units. The real distance can be estimated by simple rule of three:

$d = \frac{9}{5}\times (557\,mi)$

$d = 1002.6\,mi$
