<h3>Answer: C) 4/7</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is in the form y = mx+b with slope m = -7/4

Take the negative reciprocal of this to get 4/7. We simply flip the fraction and the sign (from negative to positive).

Note that multiplying any original slope with its perpendicular counterpart, will always get you -1

(-7/4)*(4/7) = -1

This applies to lines that are not vertical and not horizontal.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -7/4

Let the slope we want be m :

Then m * -7/4 = -1 ( as the slopes of perpendicular lines have a product of -1)

m = -1 / -7/4

= 1 * 4/7

= 4/7.

Solve for the roots in the equation below. In your final answer, include each of the necessary steps and calculations.

Nostrana [21]

$x^3-27i=0$
$x^3=27i$
$x^3=27e^{i\pi/2}$
$x=\left(27e^{i\pi/2}\right)^{1/3}$
$x=3e^{i(\pi/2+2\pi k)/3}$
$x=3e^{i\pi(4k+1)/6}$

where $k\in\{0,1,2\}$ . This means you have

$x=3e^{i\pi/6}=\dfrac32(\sqrt3+i)$
$x=3e^{i5\pi/6}=\dfrac32(-\sqrt3+i)$
$x=3e^{i9\pi/6}=-3i$

as the solutions to the original equation.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$227

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can add up the withdrawals(63, 74, and 39) which is 176. We can then subtract 176 from 212 to get 36.

So, after the withdrawals Steven has 36 dollars.

We can add the deposits together to get 191. We can then add 191 to 36 to get 227.
