Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
perpendicuar lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
so
solving for y
add 4x both sides and divide by5 to get
y=4/5x+2
slope is 4/5
perpendicular means the slopes multiply to get -1
so
4/5 times what=-1?
what=-5/4
so
y=(-5/4)x+b
find b
given the point (-15,8)
8=(-5/4)(-15)+b
8=75/4+b
-43/4=b
y=(-5/4)x-43/4
Answer:
7) 10^(3/2)
8) 2^(1/6)
9) 2^(5/4)
10) 5^(5/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
7) (√10)^3 = 10^(3/2)
8) 6 root 2 = 2^(1/6)
9) (4 root 2)^5 = 2^(5/4)
10) (4 root 5)^5 = 5^(5/4)
The 7 miles and 24 miles make up two "legs" of a right triangle.
The third side (or hypotenuse) is the distance between the towns.
distance^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
distance^2 = 49 + 576
distance^2 = 625
distance = square root of 625 or 25
