Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slope (m1) = 4

As it is said that the lines are perpendicular so we have

m1 * m2 = - 1

4 * m2 = - 1

m2 = - 1/4

The slope of the line perpendicular to line m is

- 1/4

Hope it will help :)❤

Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

Let the slope of the perpendicular line have sloe p

m*p = -1

4 * p = -1

Divide each side by 4

p = -1/4

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/4

What is the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of –3 and passes through point (–5, 4)? –17 , –11 , 7 , 19
Sindrei [870]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

b = -11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation in slope-intercept form to solve for the intercept:

y = mx + b

Plug in the slope and point values:

4 = -3(-5) + b

Simplify:

4 = 15 + b

Solve for b:

-11 = b

b represents the y-intercept, therefore:

y-intercept = -11

Find the distance between the point (2, 3) and the line 4x + 3y = 10 (round your answer to the nearest tenth).
Monica [59]

Explanation

Let's first graph the elements:

Using the distance formula we get:

d=\frac{|4(2)+3(3)-10|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}d=\frac{|7|}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-5, y=2 and z=0

-8(2x +x )/-2y =(-8•3x)/-2y = [-8•3(-5)] / (-2•2) = 120/(-4) =-30

Jose worked n hours at 8.75 dollars per hour he made a total of $61.25 write an expression that represents the total number of h
Nitella [24]

Answer:

n = P/8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose’s pay (P) depends on the number (n) of hours he works.

P = 8.75n     Divide both sides by 8.75

n = P/8.75

=====

P = $61.25

n = 61.25/8.75

n = 7 h

Jose worked for 7 h.
