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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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).

Stuart's bank account had a balance of - $54.19 last month. This month he won a cash prize of $70.82 for winning a competition.
Alenkinab [10]

If Stuart starts with -$54.19 then gains $70.82, you have to add the gained amount to the origin amount. Since the origin amount is negative, you can also subtract the origin amount from the gained amount to find the amount left at the end of the month.

Add 70.82 to -54.19

-54.19 + 70.82 = 16.63

<u>Alternative method:</u>

First, subtract 54.19 from 70.82.

70.82 - 54.19 = 16.63

Add 54.19 to -54.19, bringing you to 0.

-54.19 + 54.19 = 0

Now add the remaining 16.63.

0 + 16.63 = 16.63

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Stuart will have </u><u>$16.63</u><u> at the end of this month.</u>
