Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the condition of perpendicularity, for two lines to be perpendicular to each other the product of their gradients must equal to ( -1 ).

Same time, equation of a straight line is ; y = mx+ c where m us the gradient and c is the point of intersection of the line on y axis. Therefore, the gradient of this equation m1 ,= -5 and the gradient m2 of the second line will be 1/5. Therefore, the equation of the second line perpendicular to

y = -5x + 6 ; y = x/5 + 6 .

Therefore, y = x/5 + 6 is the new equation.

Write 14/√2 + √50 in the form b√2 where b is an integer.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$12 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the terms one at a time,

$\frac{14}{ \sqrt{2} } \\ \frac{14 * \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} } \\ \frac{14 \sqrt{2} }{2} \\ 7 \sqrt{2}$

$\sqrt{50} \\ \sqrt{25 * 2} \\ \sqrt{25}* \sqrt{2} \\ 5 * \sqrt{2} \\ 5 \sqrt{2}$

Adding the terms, you have;

$7 \sqrt{2} + 5 \sqrt{2} =(7 + 5) \sqrt{2} = 12 \sqrt{2}$

Hope it helps!

If i had the equation -3y=-2x+8 would i divide the 8 by -3 too?

UNO [17]

Not only you're gonna divide 8 by -3 for some reason, but you also divide all terms by -3. For instance,
(-3y = -2x + 8) / -3
(-3/-3)y = (-2/-3)x + 8/-3
y = (2/3)x - 8/3

Hope this helps.
