8 0

Answer:

width = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c² This the the formula

(PLUG IN)

8² + b² = 17²

64 + b² = 289 (subtract 64 on both sides)

b² = 225 (square root)

b = 15

Hope this helps ya!!

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that is perpendicular to y=2x+2 and passes through the point (4, 3)?
Ostrovityanka [42]
<h2>Answer:   y = - ¹/₂ x + 5 </h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>

<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are negative-reciprocals of each other.

                 ⇒  if the slope of this line = 2     (y = 2x + 2)

                      then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = - ¹/₂

<u>Determine the equation</u>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:  

                               ⇒  y - 3 =  - ¹/₂  (x - 4)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

                             since   y - 3 =  - ¹/₂  (x - 4)

                                              y = - ¹/₂ x + 5   (in slope-intercept form)

Line v has an equation of y=–109x–3. Perpendicular to line v is line w, which passes through the point (2,3). What is the equati
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the equation of line w will be y = 1/109x + 325/109

Step-by-step explanation:

when a line is perpendicular to another line, that means their slopes are reversed signs and flipped.

so if one slope is 2/3, the perpendicular slope would be -3/2

so in this problem, line w would have 1/109 be the slope.

using this, we can substitute m as the slope and the given point in the problem as x and y and solve for b in the slope-intercept form (y = mx +b)

m = 1/109

(2,3)

y = mx + b

3 = (1/109)2 + b

3 = 2/109 + b

327/109 = 2/109 + b

325/109 = b

putting it all together, the equation of line w will be y = 1/109x + 325/109
