Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:

y=m₁x+b₁ ⊥ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇒ m₁×m₂ = -1

y = 4x - 2 ⇒ m₁=4

4×m₂ = -1 ⇒ m₂ = -¹/₄

The line y=-¹/₄x+b passes through point (4, -2) so the equation:

-2 = -¹/₄×4 + b must be true

-2 = -1 + b

b = -1

Therefore equation in slope-intercept form:

y = -¹/₄x - 1

jonny [76]

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

$1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$

substitute

$\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames$

Simplify

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (-1/4)x - 4 has a y-intercept of (0, -4). Place a dark dot at (0, -4).

Now we use the info from the slope, -1/4:

Starting with your pencil point on the dot (0, -4), move the pencil point 4 units to the right and then 1 unit down. You will now be at (4, -5). Place a dark dot there.

Then draw a straight, solid line through (0, -4) and (4, -5).

Hi i just need help checking if my answer is correct I have been working on a implicit diffrention problem and I need some help.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-4x^3y+2y^3+3x^2y^3}{x^4-6xy^2-3x^3y^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, when I do this, I differentiate each term first with respect to x then with respect to y. In this solution, I differentiated the entire expression with respect to x, then with respect to y. That makes separating the dx and dy coefficients much easier, so the solution almost falls into your lap.

$-x^4 y + 2 x y^3 + x^3 y^3=0 \qquad\text{given}\\\\(-4x^3y+2y^3+3x^2y^3)dx+(-x^4+6xy^2+3x^3y^2)dy=0\\\\(-4x^3y+2y^3+3x^2y^3)dx=(x^4-6xy^2-3x^3y^2)dy\\\\\boxed{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-4x^3y+2y^3+3x^2y^3}{x^4-6xy^2-3x^3y^2}}$
