In order to find the slop it is probably best to put the equation in y=mx+b form. This means to get y by itself on one side.
24x-9y=63 will then become -9y=63-24x in which y has been isolated.
Then you should divided by -9 to get the final form: y=24x/9 -63/9.
Now you can get the slope of the perpendicular line by taking the slope of the original equation and finding its reciprocal which is -9/24x. This is your answer.
Answer:
1/4, or 0.25 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You count the dots. The number of dots tell you how many of each length of string she used.
You first find the column with the most dots, and then you find the column with the least. Then you just subtract them, the number of inches it displays on the bottom, 12 1/2 - 12 1/4, which is 1/4. I did this in my head and you can use a calculator if you want.
Thanks for the points, and have a blessed day. Hope this helps.
The slope (m) and the ordered pairs are given.
In order to arrive at the standard form : AX + BY = C, we need to form the slope-intercept form first : y = mx + b
Substitute the values in order to get the intercept (b)
y = mx + b
5 = 5/4 * 4 + b
5 = 5 + b
b = 0
So given the m = 5/4, b = 0
y = mx + b
y = 5/4x+ 0
Converting it to Standard Form
y = 5/4x + 0
5/4x - y = 0 (multiply both sides by 4)
5x - 4y = 0
So the Standard form is 5x - 4y = 0
