780, or C, is correct. Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75

Find the equation of the lines perpendicular and parallel to 2x-3y=8 line through the point (-2,-4)

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

y= -1.5x-7 is the equation of the perpendicular line

Here's why:

when we convert 2x-3y=8 to standard form, we get y= 2/3x-8/3. This means the perpendicular line will have a slope of the negative reciprocal of the original one, so the perpendicular slope is -1.5. When we substitute the points (-2,-4) into the equation y=-1.5x+b, we get a b value of -7. So the perpendicular line equation is y= -1.5x-7. You can't the parallel line equation with the points (-2,-4) as it is part of the line 2x-3y=8.
