If the line must be perpendicular to the equation, that means the slope is the reciprocal of the one in the given equation. So first we find that, the slope of the given equation.
- 2y + 4 = 6x + 8
- 2y = 6x + 4
y = - 3x - 2
So the slope of the given equation is - 3x. That means the slope of our perpendicular equation must be 1/3x
Now to find the value of n, plug in our given information and perpendicular slope into the slope equation:
Slope = (Y₂ - Y₁ ) / (X₂ - X₁)
1/3 = (- 8 - (-4)) / (2 - n)
1/3 = (- 8 + 4) / (2 - n)
1/3 = ( - 4) / (2 - n)
Multiply both sides by (2 - n) to get the binomial out of the denominator
(1/3)(2 - n) = - 4
Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate the binomial
2 - n = - 4(3)
2 - n = - 12
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the variable
- n = - 14
Divide by - 1 to get rid of the negative.
n = 14. Your coordinate is ( 14, - 4)
Now to find the equation that is perpendicular.
y = 1/3x + b
Plug in either of the coordinates. I'm going to use the ordered pair we just found.
- 4 = 1/3(14) + b
- 4 = 14/3 + b
- 12/3 = 14/3 + b
Subtract 14/3 on both sides.
- 26/3 = b
Your equation is y = 1/3x - 26/3
Did you find the correct answer? I'm on this question now. I'ts a test
Answer:
372inches or 31feet
How to:
7feet and three inches is equal to 87 inches and 8ft and 3 inches is equal to 99 inches. Then you know that both sides have to be multiplied by two because there are four sides in the room. Meaning you have 174in and 198in. Then you add those together to get your answer which is 372. To get back to feet just divide by twelve.
Answer:
C. 164
Step-by-step explanation:
its self explanitory
To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.
Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.
Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.
