Answer:
0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8=0.375, use a calculator for this or long division
Since the dimensions of the length and width are equal, then the board and the picture are squares. The width of the board is the margin surrounding the picture. Let's denote the width to be x. The length of the picture plus the length of the width at both ends should equal the length of the board. So, the equation should be:
10 1/2 in = 8 3/4 + 2x
Solving for x
x = 7/8 inches
You need to isolate the variable <em>h</em>.
1) Subtract both sides by 2.
-4h + 2 = 18
-4h + 2 - 2 = 18 - 2
-4h = 16
2) Divide both sides by -4 (the coefficient).
(-4h) / -4 = 16 / -4
h = -4
Remark
Perpendicular slopes are found by using the formula m1*m2 = - 1. That is followed by using the given point to determine the y intercept.
Solution
<em><u>Step One</u></em>
Find the slope of the new line
m1 = - 1/3
m2 = ??
m1 * m2 = - 1
(-1/3) * m2 = - 1
You could continue by changing (-1/3) to a decimal.
(-0.3333333333) * m2 = -1 Now divide by the decimal
m2 = - 1/ (-0.3333333333)
m2 = 3 which is what my calculator tells me the answer is.
<u>Step Two</u>
So far what you have is
y = 3x + b
Use the point (-3, -7) to get the y intercept.
-7 = 3(-3) + b
b - 9 = - 7
b = -7 + 9
b = 2
y = 3x + 2 Answer
Graph
The graph shown below is both lines plotted in desmos. The red line is y = 3x + 2 which is perpendicular to the given graph y = (-1/3)x +5 which is in blue.
The green dot is the point (-3 , - 7)
