What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 1/2x + 6 that passes through the point (4,-3)

Mathematics

zalisa [80]3 years ago

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=1/2x + 6 is 1/2. The slope perpendicular to it is -2.

Using m=-2, substitute it and (4,-3) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y--3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2x+8\\y=-2x+5

The equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx+b and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of y=-2x+5 is (0,5).

A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building. The baseball's approximate height over time can be r
antoniya [11.8K]
The function is h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 224, and according to the description of the function in the problem statement, we have the following:

at t=0 after being thrown (that is, at initial time), the height of the ball is calculated by h(0) as follows:

h(0) = -16(0)^2 + 80(0) + 224=0+0+224=224 (ft), which is the initial height, as expected.


At t=1 (sec), the height would be  h(1) = -16(1)^2 + 80(1) + 224=-16+80+224=288. 

etc.


The path is parabolic, as we know by seeing that the function is a quadratic polynomial function. This function has been given in factored form as well. From that we can see that the zeros of the function are t=7 and t=-2.

This means that at t=7 sec, the height h is 0, which means that the ball has hit the ground. t=-2 has no significance in the context of our problem so we just neglect it.


Answer: B) 7 sec
