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

Mathematics

serious [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0

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.

ADD is to MULTIPLY as SUBTRACT is to what
Rzqust [24]
Divide! If you add three and four, you get seven. Subtracting four from seven, you get three. If you multiply three and four, you get twelve. If you then divide by four, you get back to 3. I hope this helped!

What is the length of a diagonal of a rectangle with a length of 8 meters and a width of 6 meters
RSB [31]

Answer:

10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw the diagonal of the rectangle, we form a right triangle where the diagonal is the hypotenuse and the legs are 6 and 8.

This is a well-known Pythagorean triple, which gives the diagonal to be 10 m.
