Answer:
y=-x+
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(2-(-4))/(-2-1)
=6/-3
=-2
in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b
use the point (1, -4) to find b
-4=(2)(1)+b
-4=2+b
b=-6
the first equation of the line is y=2x-6
to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y
0=2x-6
2x=6
x=3
the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2
for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
0=(-1/2)(3)+b
b=3/2
thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-x+3/2
Answer:
The length of river frontage for each lot are 96.55 ft. 98.85 ft, 101.15 ft and 103.45 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached diagram.
The river frontage of 400 ft will be divided into 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 for each lot as AP, BQ, CR, DS and ET all are parallel.
Therefore, PQ : QR : RS : ST = 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 = 42 : 43 : 44 : 45
Let, PQ = 42x, QR = 43x, RS = 44x and ST = 45x
So, (42x + 43x + 44x + 45x) = 400
⇒ 175x = 400
⇒ x = 2.2988.
So, PQ = 42x = 96.55 ft.
QR = 43x = 98.85 ft.
RS = 44x = 101.15 ft and
ST = 45x = 103.45 ft
