Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (4, -2) and is perpendicular to the line y =4x - 1

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>         y = -¹/₄x - 1</h2>

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

eduardo has 4 1/2 yard of rope light. Exactly how many more yard does he need to finish the car's ceiling
Over [174]

Answer:

2 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.

4 1/2 -> 9/2

6 2/3 -> 20/3

Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.

9/2 * 3 = 27/6

20/3 * 2 = 40/6

Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:

40/6-27/6= 13/6

Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.

Find the missing measures of the following rectangle
Allushta [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle

• All angles are right angles

• the diagonals are congruent

In Δ WXV the sum of the 3 angles = 180°

∠ WXZ = ∠ XWY = \frac{180-64}{2} = \frac{116}{2} = 58°

∠ YXZ = 90° - 58° = 32°

∠ WVZ = 180° - 64° = 116° ( adjacent angles are supplementary )

∠ XWZ = 90° ( by definition of rectangle )

∠ XZY = ∠ WXZ = 58° ( corresponding angles )

PLS ANSWER !!!! <br><br> what is the formula when finding the slope given in two ordered pairs
Katarina [22]

Answer: Since you already know that the ordered pair is in the format of (x, y), then you can label one of the ordered pairs as 1 and kind of distribute it to get 1(x, y) = (x-sub1, y-sub1). Then just use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
