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>

A ship is anchored off a long straight shoreline that runs north and south. From two observation points 16 miles apart on shore,

ELEN [110]

D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222 miles

Answer:

The value of y is y = -8x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

$y + 8x = 1 \\ \frac{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 8x = - 8x}{y = - 8x + 1}$

Find the distance between each pair of parallel line<br>y=x-6 and y=x+8

myrzilka [38]

Both these lines are linear and have the same slope, just different y-intercepts. This means one line is shifted higher than the other. y=x+8 is 14 units higher than y=x-6. The answer to you question therefore is 14 units!
