Answer:
8 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller of the right triangles formed is similar to the whole triangle so
4/x = x/16 where x = the shorter leg
x^2 = 64
x = 8.
The answer for A is 2,026. I set a porportion up which is 77/x = 3.8/100
The answer to B is 26
Answer:
x = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
x = (360 - 135 * 2) / 2
x = (360 - 270) / 2
x = 90 / 2
x = 45
4 units left : subtract 4 from each x coordinate
3 units down : subtract 3 from each y coordinate
that is how i remember it
Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
Data of the first line:
m=-5
b=y-intercept=3 (y-intercept=it is the value of "y" when x=0)
y=-5x+3
A line perpendicular to the line y=mx+b will have the following slope:
m`=-1/m
Therefore: the line perpendicular to the line y=-5x+3 will have the following slope:
m´=-1/(-5)=1/5
Point-slope form of a line: we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope (m):
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
We know, the slope (m=1/5) and we have a point (3,2) therefore:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-2=1/5(x-3) (point-slope form)
y-2=(1/5)x-3/5
y=(1/5)x-3/5+2
y=(1/5)x+7/5 (slope-intercept form)
Answer: the line perpendicular to the first line will be: y=(1/5)x+7/5
