Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)

First find the slope of the given line:

4x +2y = 1

Subtract 4x from each side:

2y = -4x + 1

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -2x +1/2

The slope is -2.

Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because  the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.

The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2

Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:

y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)

Simplify:

y - 3 = x/2 +2

Add 3 to each side:

y = x/2 + 5

Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5

The answer is D.

The millers drove 150 miles in 3 hours at what rate how long will it take them to drive 400 miles
valentina_108 [34]
Rate = (150 miles)/(3 hrs) = 50 mph

so . . .

(50 mph)*(time) = 400 miles

*divide both sides by 50 mph

time = (400 miles)/(50 mph) = 8 hrs

time = 8 hrs

Ket [755]

263.76 cm is the minimum amount of paper she will need to wrap the entire container.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As we know that the equation for surface area of a cylinder,

Surface area of cylinder =  2\pi r^{2}+2 \pi r h

Where,

r - the radius of the cylinder. Here given diameter (D) as 6. So,

          r=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3 \mathrm{cm}

h - the height of the cylinder (given as 11 cm). The value for pi = 3.14. Now, calculate the surface area of the cylinder as

                     A=2(3.14)(3)^{2}+2(3.14)(3)(11)

                            A = 56.52+ 207.24 = 263.76 cm
