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

Mathematics

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

Can u plz help me answer question 30
slamgirl [31]

We are given:

3x^3-2x^2

There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an x^2 since they both have at least an x^2. Here is what we get:

x^2(3x-2)

This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.

Find the height of the triangle by applying formulas for the area of a triangle and
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a= 12 mm ; b = 16 mm  ; c = 18 mm

s = (a + b+c)/2

=\dfrac{12 + 16 + 8}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{36}{2}\\\\= 18\\\\

s -a =  18 -  12 = 6 mm

s  -b = 18 - 16 = 2 mm

s  -c = 18 - 8 = 10 mm

area = \sqrt{s(s -a)(s-b)(s-c)}

       = \sqrt{18*6*2*10}\\\\= \sqrt{2160 }\\\\=46.47\\\\=46 \ mm^{2}\\

\dfrac{1}{2}* \ base * \ height = 46\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}*16* \ height = 46\\\\height = \dfrac{46*2}{16}\\\\

  = 5.75

Height = 5.8 mm
