Answer:

7y + 2x + 34 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient for perpendicular, m = -2/7

The formular equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The equation of line through (4, -6) is:

y - (-6) = -2/7(x - 4)

y + 6 = -2x/7 + 8/7

7y + 42 + 2x - 8 = 0

7y + 2x + 34 = 0

Answer:

the desired equation is y = (-7/2)x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't you mean y = -2/7x+9, or y = (2/7)x+9?   Any line perpendicular to this line has a slope of -7/2, the negative reciprocal of (2/7).

Start with the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b.  Substitute -6 for  y, 4 for x and -7/2 for m.  Then we have

-6 = (-7/2)(4) + b.   This reduces to -6 = -14 + b, so that b must be -8.

Thus, the desired equation is y = (-7/2)x - 8

What is the simplified form of the expression -2(-5x - 8)?
Deffense [45]

Answer: 10x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property a(b+c)= ab+ac

so

-2(-5x-8) = (-2 * -5x) - (-2* -8)

=

10x-(-16)

=10x+16

The cost of renting an apartment can be modeled by the function C(m)=900m+1400, where C(m) is the cost in dollars for m months o
Ahat [919]

Answer:

On the context of the problem, the slope means the total paid for every month that the apartment is rented, 900 per month in this case, while the y-intercept means the initial cost for renting the apartment, 1400 upfront in this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

This function is linear, which means that it increases at a steady rate and has the following form:

y(x) = a*x + b

Where "a" is the slope or the rate at which "y" changes for every change in "x". While "b" is the number at which the function crosses the "y" axis.

On the context of the problem, the slope means the total paid for every month that the apartment is rented, 900 per month in this case, while the y-intercept means the initial cost for renting the apartment, 1400 upfront in this case.
