Find the equation of the line that is perpendicluar to y=-2/3x and contains the point (4,-8)
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of two perpendiculars is
m1*m2 = - 1
m1 = - 2/3
-2/3 * m2 = -1 Multiply both sides by -3/2
-3/2 * -2/3 * m2 = -1*-3/2
m2 = 3/2
So far what you have is
y = 3/2 x + b
x = 4
y = - 8
-8 = 3/2*4 + b
-8 = 6 + b Subtract 6 from both sides
b = - 14
Complete line
y = 3/2 x - 14
The red line is y = -2/3x
The blue line is y = 3/2x - 14
The point (4,-8) is marked for you

The time taken by the object to fall from 15 m on the Mercury which has a gravity of 3.7 m/s² is 10.54 seconds.
<h3>What is kinematics?</h3>It is the study of the motion of a body without considering mass. And the reason behind them is neglected.
The object is on Mercury and starts falling from rest.
As it is on Mercury there is no air resistance to account for.
Gravity on Mercury is 3.7 m/s².
Then the time taken by the object to fall from 15 m will be given as
