What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=4x-5 and passes through (-4,6)

Answer:

y=-1/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1.

Our given line:

y=4x-5

the slope (m) in it is 4. To find the slope of the perpendicular line:

4m=-1

divide by 4

m=-1/4

the slope of the new line is -1/4

here's our equation so far:

y=-1/4x+b

Since the line will pass through the point (-4,6) we can use it to solve for b (y intercept)

so substitute (-4,6) into the equation

6=-1/4(-4)+b

6=1+b

5=b

the y intercept is 5

so our equation is:

y=-1/4x+5

hope this helps! :D

Zina [86]
X=width of the lake
y=length of the lake.
we set out this system of equiations
x*y=9/20
x=y/5
we solve by sustitution method
(y/5)*y=9/20
y²/5=9/20
y²=(5*9)/ 20
y²=2.25
y=√2.25=1.5

x=y/5
x=1.5/5=0.3

Solution:
width of the lake=0.3 miles
lenght of the lake=1.5 miles
