Answer:

y = -4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is written in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and when finding the slope, it is relatively easy finding the y - intercept. To find the slope of a line perpendicular to a line that you already know the slope of, the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of the slope of y = 1/4 x + 5 is -4, which is the slope of the line we are trying to find. Since we have our slope, we can rewrite our equation as y = -4x + b. Now since we already have a point that it passes through, we have our y-intercept. Our y - intercept is the y coordinate when the x coordinate is 0. Since we have our point (0, 2) we have our y - intercept, which is two. Thus, our answer is y = -4x + 2.

Answer:

y = -4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we have the equation y = 1/4x + 5.

And we have to find the line that is perpendicular to that line that also passes through the point (0,2) so first we have to graph it. Look at the image below.

So we have to find a line that is perpendicular meaning it crosses y = 1/4x + 5 and makes 4 90° angles.

So to start off we know that 2 is the y intercept.

so our equation looks like this y = ?x + 2

We can keep trying x values till we get it.

But we do know that the x value has to be negative.

So the equation is y = -4x +2. Look at the other image below.

Area of a semicircle is 308cm. Find the perimeter

fgiga [73]

Answer:

72 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the radius using the given information

308=1/2(πr^2)

r^2=616/π

r=14

The perimeter is πr + 2r so plug in 14

π(14) + 2(14)

43.96+28=71.96

Guidelines for the amount of supplementary nitrogen needed to grow winter wheat depend on the amount of nitrogen in the soil (a

Ierofanga [76]

The net profit or income for case A and case B based on the information will be $9250 and $9500 respectively.

<h3>How to compute the net profit?</h3>

Case A:

Based on the information, the price of fertilizer will be:

= 0.25 × 100 × 50

= $1250

Price of wheat = 3.50 × 50 × 50

= $10500

Net profit = $10500 - $1250

= $9250

Case B:

Price of fertilizer will be:

= 0.50 × 70 × 50

= $1750

Price of wheat = 4.50 × 50 × 50

= $11250

Net profit = $11250 - $1750

= $9500

Therefore, the net profit or income for case A and case B based on the information will be $9250 and $9500 respectively.

a space shuttle is 50 miles above earth an astronaut on the shuttle sees the sun rise over earth. to the nearest mile, what is t

Ludmilka [50]

From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say

cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...

α=arccos(r/(r+h))

now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:

tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r

d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:

d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))

d≈634.42mi

d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
