Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope of your new line will be -1/4 and the current equation will be as follows:
y = -1/4x + b
(where b is the y intercept)
to find b, plug in point A and you'll get:
2 = -1/4(16) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b
the equation will be:
y = -1/4x + 6
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
X^(3/5) = 1.84
x^(3/5) = (1.84)
Raise both sides of the equation to (5/3).
This is so that on the side with x, 3/5 * 5/3 = 1.
(x^3/5 )^5/3 = (1.84)^(5/3)
x^(3/5 * 5/3) = 1.84^(5/3)
x^1 = 1.84^(5/3)
x = 1.84^(5/3)
But remember we are solving for x^2.
x = 1.84^(5/3)
x^2 = (1.84^(5/3))^2
x^2 = 1.84^(5/3 *2 )
x^2 = 1.84^(10/3)
Use a calculator here.
x^2 = 1.84^(10/3) ≈ 7.63
Option A.
Cheers!
