Answer:

y=3/4x−12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse: m=34.

The equation of the perpendicular line is y=3x4+a.

To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: −12=(34)⋅(0)+a.

a=−12.

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=3x4−12.

How would I know what lines are intersecting, perpendicular, parallel and coinciding based off an equation given? Like in the pi

NikAS [45]

If lines are paralel, then they have the same slope
if the lines are pependicuilar, the slopes mutiply to -1

so

y=mx+b
m=slope

and
ax+by=c
-a/b is the slope

given
y=2/3x-2
slope is 2/3

x+y=4
slope is -1/1 or -1

2/3≠-1 and -1 times 2/3≠-1 so they are neither perpendicular or paralell

since they aren't paralell, we know they intersect somewhere

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=W+390, W=L-390

P=2(W+L), P=2340

2(L-390+L)=2340

2L-390=1170

2L=1560

L=780ft

MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr.Riley was 30 feet above the water, which means he is at +30 above sea level. If he descends 100 feet, that means he goes 100 feet lower then that. 30 - 100 is equal to -70. He is 70 feet under water after he dived. You do not need to know the answer, but it helps to visualize the problem you have, therefore, finding the answer

Matilda always eats at least one of the following for breakfast: cereal, bread, or yogurt. On Monday, she is especially picky. I

Annette [7]

Answer:

Matilda eats Cereal on Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Breakfast options for Matilda are: Cereal (C), Bread (B) or Yogurt (Y).

Condition 1: If she eats cereal and bread she also eats yogurt.

Then Matilda's breakfast combination is: C + B + Y.

Condition 2: If she eats bread or yogurt, she also eats cereal.

Then Matilda's breakfast combination is: C + B or C + Y.

Condition 3: She never eats both cereal and yogurt.

Then Matilda's breakfast combination does not include is: C + Y.

Condition 4: She always eats bread or cereal.

Then Matilda's breakfast combination always includes is: C or B.

If Matilda eats bread (B) then according to Condition 2 she eats cereal (C) also. And since she eats both C and B she eats yogurt (Y) also.

But according to Condition 3 Matilda never eats both cereal and yogurt.

Hence she can never have all three for breakfast.

She cannot eat bread (B) alone [according to Condition 2], Matilda is left with only one option, i.e. Cereal (C).

Thus, Matilda eats Cereal for breakfast on Monday.
