Line w is perpendicular to the line y = −x − 5 and passes through the point (−2, 4). What is the y-intercept of line w?

1 answer:

7 0

The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the original. The negative reciprocal of -1 is 1. The equation will read:

y=x+b

To solve for the y-intercept (b), plug in the given values of x and y:

4=-2+b

<em>*Add 2 to both sides*</em>

Solve x - 3 1/8 = 5/12

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}=3\dfrac{13}{24}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to the fraction:

$3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{3\cdot8+1}{8}=\dfrac{25}{8}$

METHOD 1:

$x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\text{the common denominator is 24}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 24}\\\\24x-(3)(25)=(2)(5)\\\\24x-75=10\qquad\text{add 75 to both sides}\\\\24x=85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}}$

METHOD 2:

$x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{add}\ 3\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{to oboth sides}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{12}+3\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\cdot2}{12\cdot2}+3\dfrac{1\cdot3}{8\cdot3}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{24}+3\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\x=3\dfrac{10+3}{24}\\\\\boxed{x=3\dfrac{13}{24}}$

28 in 21 in., 20 in.<br> Is this a right triangle?

ankoles [38]

Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to determine is testing out the numbers with Pythagorian theorem.

If it complies with the theorem, it is a right triangle.

let's assume c = 28, b = 21, and a = 20

the longest side is the hypotenuse so side c (28 in) will be the hypotenuse.

According to the Pythagorian theorem, the square of the length of hypotenuse must equal to the sum of squares of other two sides.

check:

c^2 = 28^2 = 784

a^2 + b^2 = 21^2 + 20^2 = 841

because c^2 is not equal to a^2 + b^2, the triangle is not a right triangle.
