What is the slope line perpendicular to the equation 4x+3y=9

Mathematics

aleksandrvk [35]3 years ago

Answer:

m=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

we have the equation 4x+3y=9

subtract 4x from both sides

3y=-4x+9

divide by 3

y=-4/3x+3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1

so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1

(m is the slope value)

-4/3m=-1

multiply by -3/4

m=3/4

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4

hope this helps!! :)

. The volume of a box is 405 cubic units. The length is x units, the width 4 units greater than the length, and the height is 9
lukranit [14]

Answer:

length = 5

width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

V = lwh

let 'x' = length

let '4+x' = width

9 = height

405 = 9x(4+x)

405 = 36x + 9x²

this is a quadratic equation:  9x² + 36x - 405 = 0

factor out a 9 to get:

9(x² + 4x - 45) = 0

9(x-5)(x+9) = 0

one root is 5 and the other is -9

since distance cannot be negative we use 5 as the length and 9 is the width

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 4 and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3y = 6x 3
Maru [420]
Perpendicular line always have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.  Mathematically,

m1*m2=-1

So to be perpendicular to the line given, let's rearrange it to the point slope form of a line...

3y=6x ?3 (not sure what you wanted to type there)

anyway isolating y by dividing both side by three will leave 2x where 2 is the slope.

So for the other line to be perpendicular, m*2=-1, m=-1/2, now we have:

y=-x/2 +b, we can now you the point given to solve for b

4=-2/2 +b

4=-1+b

b=5 so

y=-x/2 +5 or more neatly

y=(10-x)/2
