Find an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of 28x-7y=9 that passes through the point at (4,1)

1 answer:

3 0

If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).

Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:

y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)

y+9=(-1/2)x+1

y=(-1/2)x-8

For triangle ABC, find the measure of AB given me∠ A = 55 degrees, m∠b= 44 degrees, and b=6. . A. 45.22. B.96.68. C.88.19. .

There exist a similar question where b = 68 instead of 6. First, determine the measure of the third angle, angle C,
m∠c = 180 - (55° + 44°) = 81°
Let x be the side AB, that which is opposite to angle C. Through the Sine Law,
68 / sin 44° = x / sin 81°
From the equation, the value of x is equal to 96.68. Thus, the answer is letter B.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is , where l represents t

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

A. 7 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is , where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle.

We know that perimeter of rectangle is 2 times the sum of width and length of rectangle.

$\text{Perimeter}=2(l+w)$
