Vertical because the line passed through -4 on the x axis

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=7x−2 and passes through the point (14,8).(1 point) y=7x−90 y=10x−17 y=−1

True [87]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{7}x+ 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we need to note two things.

A) The slope of two lines that are perpendicular will be opposite reciprocals (that is, multiplying them gets us -1.)
B) We can substitute a point inside an incomplete equation to try and find a missing value.

So first, let's find the opposite reciprocal of 7 which will be the slope to this equation.

Reciprocal of 7: $\frac{1}{7}$
Opposite of $\frac{1}{7}$ : $-\frac{1}{7}$

So the slope of this line will be $-\frac{1}{7}$ . The y-intercept will change, and we can substitute what we know into the equation $y=mx+b$ .

$y = -\frac{1}{7}x+b$

Now, we can substitute a point on the graph (14, 8) into this equation to find b.

$8 = -\frac{1}{7} \cdot 14 + b$
$8 = -\frac{14}{7} + b$
$8 = -2 + b$
$b = 10$

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can finish off our equation by plugging that in.

$y = -\frac{1}{7}x + 10$

Hope this helped!

What the expression (4f-3+2g)-(4g+2)

galben [10]

For this question you can say:
4f -3 +2g - 4g -2
so now you can simplify and find the answer:
4f -3 -2g -2 = 4f -2g -5
and that's the answer :)))
I hope this is helpful

A hiker discovers a skull that contains 41% of its original amount of C-14. Find the age of the skull to the nearest year

snow_tiger [21]

We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log ( 2.4390243902 ) / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 5,730 * 0.38721614327 / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 5,730 * 1.2863041851 
elapsed time = 7,370.523 years
