Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=-10×+1 passing through the point (5,7)

1 answer:

3 0

Y = -10x + 1...slope here is -10. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, flip the number and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will need a slope of 1/10.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/10
(5,7)....x = 5 and y = 7
now sub and find b, the y int
7 = 1/10(5) + b
7 = 1/2 + b
7 - 1/2 = b
14/2 - 1/2 = b
13/2 = b

so ur perpendicular line going thru (5,7) is y = 1/10x + 13/2

Answer: 33 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write a proportion

Speed rate = 88 step per minute

Time = 90 minutes

So, the proportion is 88 step/min / 90 minutes

For 33 steps per minutes = 33 / x minutes

88/90 = 33/x

solving for x:

x= 33/ (88/90)

x = 33.75 = 33 minutes.

Determine the value of K that would make this expression a perfect square

Mumz [18]

Answer: k=9/4

Step-by-step explanation: We can do this by finding a number that adds up to 3 when multiplied by 2. The best way to do this is to use ((b^2)/4) which can usually find you the number for a perfect square based on b, which we have. So, 3^2 / 4 =9/4, meaning k=9/4. We can check:

>x^2 +3x +9/4

> (x+3/2)(x+3/2)

Perfect square.

Literal Equations: 8c + 6j = 5p, for c

bixtya [17]

8c + 6j = 5p Subtract 6j from both sides
8c = 5p - 6j Divide both sides by 8
c = $\frac{5p - 6j}{8}$
