Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3/4x - 6

m = -3/4

Slope of the line perpendicular to this line = -1/m

= -1 ÷ (-3/4)

$= (-1)*\frac{4}{-3}\\\\=\frac{4}{3}$

Is y-4=2(x-2) and 4x-2y=5 perpendicular

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Therefore,

Slopes are Equal, Hence the Lines are not Perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y-4=2(x-2)=2x=-4\\\\y=2x$ .......Equation ( 1 )

$4x-2y=5\\2y=4x-5\\\\y=2x-\dfrac{5}{2}$ .......Equation ( 2 )

Comparing with,

$y=mx+c$ ......General Slope point form

Where m =slope

We get

$Slope = m1 = 2$ For Equation ( 1 )

$Slope = m2 = 2$ For Equation ( 2 )

Hence,

$m1=m2[=2$

Therefore, Slopes are Equal Hence the Lines are Parallel not Perpendicular.

For Perpendicular we require

$m1\times m2=-1$

Therefore,

Slopes are Equal, Hence the Lines are not Perpendicular.

If YW bisects XYZ and mZXYW = 25°, then what is mZXYZ?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, YW bisects angle XYZ.

$\therefore m\angle XYZ =2\times m\angle XYW\\\therefore m\angle XYZ =2\times 25\degree \\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle XYZ =50\degree}}$

What is the relation between the variables in the equation x^4/y=7?

makkiz [27]

Answer:

So, the relation between variables are

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Since, we have to find relation between variables

so, we can solve for y

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Firstly, we will multiply both sides by y

$\frac{x^4}{y}\times y=7\times y$

we can simplify it

$x^4=7\times y$

we can isolate y

so, we can divide both sides by 7

so, we get

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$
