Find a equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-4x+3 and passes through the point (4,-1)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = (-1/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

the factor of x is in a line equation the slope of the line.

it residents actually the ratio of y/x.

in our original equation that means that for every change of x by 1 unit y changes by 4 units (actually -4 units) => -4/1 ratio.

a perpendicular line just reverses that ratio.

now, x had to change by 4 units for y to change by 1 unit (actually -1 unit)

=> -1/4

so, our wanted line equation must be in the form of

y = (-1/4)x + c

c is the offset of the line from the (0,0) point in y direction.

so, what is c ?

now we use the information of the point that is stored to be in that line : (4,-1)

=> -1 = (-1/4)×4 + c

=> -1 = -1 + c

=> c = 0

therefore, the desired line is

y = (-1/4)x

How is multiplying fractions the same as multiplying whole numbers and different
gtnhenbr [62]
Well one similarity is that since you have to multiply, integer rules still apply and that you can also multiply variables. A difference is that with fractions, you have to make a number into an improper fraction rather than just the regular way which would most likely be the whole number with a decimal.

I need help on this
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Draw a vertical line at the number 4 on your x axis positive side which is x=4

Then anything on the left of this line you just created at x=4 will be less than 4.  But since your inequality is x  less than/equal to 4 it includes 4 as well.

What is the value of x?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

x=68

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by setting up as a proportion. 99.2 and 112 ft are across from each other so we can put those as our numerators. Additionally 62 and (x+2) ft are across from each other so we can put those as denominators. Now we can set up our proportion and begin to cross multiply:

99.2/62 = 112/(x+2) is our equation. It might help you see it clearly to write it out as fractions. From here, we cross multiply.

When we do that, we get x=68
