- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.
Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is 
Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>
Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:
<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
The question is incomplete:
Bella and Heather put some money into their money boxes every week. The amount of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes after a certain amount of time (x), in weeks, is shown by the equations below: Bella: y = 25x + 60 Heather: y = 30x + 10 After how many weeks will Bella and Heather have the same amount of money in their money boxes, and what is that amount?
10 weeks, $10
10 weeks, $310
9 weeks, $310
310 weeks, $10
Answer:
10 weeks, $310
Step-by-step explanation:
As the statement indicates, you have the following equations:
y=25x+60
y=30x+10
where:
y= the amount of money
x= the amount of time in weeks
You can equalize the expressions and isolate x to find the number of weeks after which Bella and Heather will have the same amount of money:
25x+60=30x+10
60-10=30x-25x
50=5x
x=50/5= 10
After this, you can replace the value of x in any of the equations to find the amount of money that they will have after 10 weeks:
-y=25(10)+60=310
-y=30(10)+10= 310
According to this, the answer is 10 weeks, $310.
The longer piece of wire is 42.5
The shorter piece of wire is 37.5
37.5+42.5=80
37.5 matches the requirements because it is 5 smaller than 42.5 :)
Mark as BRAINLIEST please :)
The ratio is 3:2, purple :green
The bag has 21 purple so to get from 3 to 21 it is multiplied by 7; so we must also multiply the 2 by 7 to keep the ratio balanced.
21:14
