Using the Pythagorean Theorem,
radius^2 = 40^2 + 9^2
radius^2 = 1,600 + 81
radius^2 = 1,681
radius = 41
16/21 divided by 4/9 is equivalent to 16/21 x 9/4 = 144/84 which reduces to 12/7. So 12/7 is your answer.
Answer:
y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is -8. That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).
Then the desired equation is
y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)
