Determine the equation of a line through the point (3,-4) that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+7

Mathematics

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is

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

y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

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

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{3}, thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

A sheet of paper has a perimeter of 39 in. If the width of the paper is 8.5 in. What is the length of the sheet of paper?
natta225 [31]
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Perimeter = 39
W = 8.5

we plug those into the perimeter equation and get
2L + 2(8.5) = 39

simplify
2L + 17 = 39

subtract 17 from both sides
2L = 22

divide both sides by 2
L = 11

therefore the length of the sheet of paper is 11 in.

A boat sails on a bearing of 77 degrees for 135 miles and then turns and sails 207 miles on a bearing of 192 degrees. Find the d
Andrew [12]

Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
