Please help this is hard math

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$y=-4x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope of the line AB passing through the point (2,0)
line AB is perpendicular to the line $y=\frac{1}{4}x-3$ , this equation is slope intercept for, which is $y=mx+b$ so our m or slope is $\frac{1}{4}$
Since the slope of line AB is perpendicular to $m=\frac{1}{4}$ then we use the equation $slope of line1\times slopeofline2=-1$ , so what do we multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by to get -1? -4 right, so that's the slope of line AB with the point (2,0)
Now line CD is parallel to line AB, that means it has the same slope as AB, so slope of CD is -4
So we make the equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ so m= -4 and our point is (-1,6)
$y-(6)=-4(x-(-1)\\y-6=-4x-4\\y=-4x-4+6\\y=-4x+2$ thats the equation of line side CD

A tree casts a shadow that is 8 feet long, a 3 foot mailbox cast a shadow that is 5 feet long. how tall is the tree?

madam [21]

Set up two fractions:
8/x and 3/5
Set them equal to each other and cross multiply to get:
8*5 = 3x
40 = 3x
13.3 = x or 13 and 1/3 feet tall.

What is the power dissipated by a 5ohm resistor if the current is 4A?

posledela

Answer:

Answer: First, we use Ohm's law ( V = I × R ), to find the current through the resistor. The voltage across the resistor is V = 9 V. The resistance of the resistor is R = 100 Ω. Then, we can use the power rule ( P = I × V ), to find the power dissipated by the resistor

Using the formula C = 2πr, find the circumference of a circle with diameter of 28 inches. Round your answer to the nearest inch.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

88 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter is 2 times the radius (r) so divided 28 by 2 to get 14 as the radius.

Plug this in:
