Slope given is -9 what is the slope of any line parallel to this given line

1 answer:

6 0

If the line has a slope of -9, the slope of any parallel line will also be -9.
Parallel lines always have the same slope.

CD is perpendicular to AB and passes through point C5, 12).

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x intercept of CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.

For that we need to find the equation of CD

we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD

Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB

So, the slope of CD $mCD = -\frac{1}{mAB}$

Hence we start from determining slope of AB

slope is given as

$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m= \frac{14-(-3)}{7-(-10)}=\frac{17}{17}=1$

Hence $mAB=1$

There fore $mCD=-1$

(∵ Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)

Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)

$m=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}$

$-1=\frac{y-12}{x-5}$

$-x+5=y-12$

$y=-x+17$

Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x

$0=-x+17$

$x=17$

Hence the x intercept is 17

A rectangle has a length of 12 yards less than 3 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 135 square yards, find the len

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The length is 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the width with W and length with L: So

$Area = 135yd^2$

$L=3W - 12$

Required

Determine the length of the rectangle:

Area is calculated as thus:

$Area = L * W$

Substitute 3W - 12 for L and 135 for Area

$135= (3W - 12) * W$

$135= 3W^2 - 12W$

Reorder:

$3W^2 - 12W - 135= 0$

Divide through by 3

$W^2 - 4W - 45 = 0$

Expand:

$W^2 - 9W + 5W - 45 = 0$

$W(W - 9) + 5(W - 9) = 0$

$(W + 5)(W-9) = 0$

$W + 5 = 0$ or $W - 9 = 0$

$W = -5$ or $W = 9$

But width can't be negative

So:

$W = 9$

Recall that: $L=3W - 12$

$L = 3 * 9 - 12$

$L = 15$

<em>Hence, the length 15 yards</em>
