Answer:

4y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = 8x - 6

Divide through by 2:-

y = 4x -3   so the slope of this line  = 4

Slope of the line perpendicular to this  = -1/4

So using the point/slope form of an equation of a line and the point (-3,3) we have:-

y  - 3 =  -1/4(x - -3)

y = -1/4x - 3/4 + 3

y = -1/4 x + 9/4    Multiply through by 4:-

4y = -x + 9

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, so hmmm wait a second, what is the  slope of 2y=8x−6. anyway?


\bf 2y=8x-6\implies y=\cfrac{8x-6}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{8x}{2}-\cfrac{6}{2}\\\\\\y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{4}x-3\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}slope-intercept~form\\\cline{1-1}\\y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}}\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}


\bf ~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}{\stackrel{slope}{4\implies \cfrac{4}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{4}}}


so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/4 and runs through (-3, 3).


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}\textit{point-slope form}\\\cline{1-1}\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}\implies y-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}[x-(-3)]\implies y-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+3)\\\\\\y-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{3}{4}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{3}{4}+3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{9}{4}


now, that equation is fine, is in <u>slope-intercept form</u>, and we can do away with the denominators by simply multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case , 4, and put the equation in <u>standard form</u> instead.


standard form for a linear equation means

- all coefficients must be integers

- only the constant on the right-hand-side

- "x" must not have a negative coefficient


\bf 4(y)=4\left( -\cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{9}{4} \right)\implies 4y=-x+9\implies x+4y=9

I need the answer fast
Fantom [35]

Answer:

B. What was the highest temperature this month?

Step-by-step explanation:

Rory is recording the <em>high</em><em>est</em><em> temperature</em> for the duration of the day for month's worth of data.

B. is the easiest one to answer, as you simply will have to look for the greatest number within the set, and that will be the answer.

A. is too broad, and does not imply that only the "high temperature" is needed, rather just a leveled temperature within day in that month.

C. is the opposite of what Rory had recorded, and without data, he cannot answer it.

D. is answerable as well, but, again, the only temperature recorded is the high temperature. Temperature can fluctuate depending on the time of the day, and can be in the 50s one hour and the 90s in another.

If ΔABC is an equilateral triangle with, AB = 2x + 17, BC = 6x - 19, AC = 4x-1, find x and the measure of each side
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x=9, AB=BC=AC=35

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides, so all 3 sides have the same length. Therefore, we know that AB=BC=AC. We are given the lengths of all 3 sides in terms of x, but we only need to set two of them equal to each other to solve for x. Let's use AB and BC to solve for x. We know that AB=BC, AB=2x+17, and BC=6x-19. Therefore, we can write the following equation to solve for

AB=BC\\2x+17=6x-19 (Substitute given values into equation)

Solving for x, we get:

2x+17=6x-19\\2x+17-17=6x-19-17 (Subtract 17 from both sides of the equation to isolate constants)

2x=6x-36 (Simplify)

2x-6x=6x-36-6x (Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation to isolate x)

-4x=-36 (Simplify)

\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-36}{-4} (Divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get rid of x's coefficient)

x=9 (Simplify)

Therefore, AB=2x+17=2*9+17=18+17=35, and AB=BC=AC=35. Hope this helps!
