Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Make equation y= mx + b
3x + 4y = 24
4y = -3x + 24
y = -3/4x + 6
Now make slope perpendicular
Slope = 4/3
The answer would be B.

Answer:

4/3 (answer choice b)

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you convert the equation to slope intercept form as well as make sure y doesn't have a coefficient by dividing the whole equation by 4. (y=-3/4x+6) Next, you find the reciprocal of the slope which in this case is -4/3 ,and divide it by -1 giving you 4/3.

Find the three angles of the triangle formed using the position vectors 2i hat − j + 5k and i hat + 2j + 4k and the line segment

victus00 [196]

Given

$\vec{a}=2\vec{i}-\vec{j}+5\vec{k},$

$\vec{b}=\vec{i}+2\vec{j}+4\vec{k},$

you can find

$\vec{a}-\vec{b}=2\vec{i}-\vec{j}+5\vec{k}-(\vec{i}+2\vec{j}+4\vec{k})=\vec{i}-3\vec{j}+\vec{k}.$

Three vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{a}-\vec{b}$ form a triangle.

$\cos\angle 1=\dfrac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}|\cdot |\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{2\cdot 1+(-1)\cdot 2+5\cdot 4}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+5^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2} }=\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{21} }.$

$\cos\angle 2=\dfrac{\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{a}-\vec{b})}{|\vec{a}|\cdot |\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{2\cdot 1+(-1)\cdot (-3)+5\cdot 1}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+5^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2+1^2} }=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{11} }.$

$\cos\angle 3=\dfrac{\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{a}-\vec{b})}{|\vec{b}|\cdot |\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{1\cdot 1+2\cdot (-3)+4\cdot 1}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2+1^2} }=\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{21} \cdot \sqrt{11} }.$

Then

$\angle 1=\arccos \left(\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{21} }\right)\approx 37.17^{\circ};$
$\angle 2=\arccos \left(\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{11} }\right)\approx 56.60^{\circ};$
$\angle 3=\arccos \left(\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{21} \cdot \sqrt{11} }\right)\approx 93.77^{\circ}.$
