Answer:

y = \frac{5}{4} x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + 3 is in this form

with m = - \frac{4}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{4}{5} } = \frac{5}{4}, hence

y = \frac{5}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 12) into the partial equation

12 = 5 + c ⇒ c = 12 - 5 = 7

y = \frac{5}{4} x + 7 ← equation of perpendicular line

Can someone pls help need it ASAP and can you pls explain in full detail how to do it
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

x= 1 , y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y= -3 => Equation 1

x+5y= 21 => Equation 2

<u>Substitut</u><u>ion</u><u> </u><u>Method</u><u>:</u>

<u>Substitu</u><u>te</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u><u> </u><u>1</u>=>

x=y-3 <= Equation 3

Put x=y-3 in Equation 2:

x+5y=21

( y-3)+5y=21

y-3+5y=21

6y-3=21

6y=21+3

6y=24

y=24÷6

y=4

Put y=4 in Equation 1:

x-y= -3

x-4=-3

x=4-3

x=1

Hope this helps :)

Niobium-91 has a half-life of 680 years. After 2,040 years, how much niobium-91 will remain from a 300. 0-g sample? 3 g 18. 75 g
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Amount of Niobium-91 initially

= 300/91 =3.2967mol

2040 years = 3 ×680 = 3 half-lives

therefore, amount left = 0.4121mol

mass of Niobium-91 remaining = 0.4121 ×91 =37.5g
