What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 6x+4y=-56

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

First, put the equation of the line given into slope-intercept form by solving for y. You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6.Step-by-step explanation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\ m= \frac{3}{7} 
\\
\\(9,-2) \Rightarrow x_1=9,y_1=-2
\\
\\ y-(-2)=\frac{3}{7} (x-9)
\\
\\y+2=\frac{3}{7}x-\frac{27}{7}
\\
\\y=\frac{3}{7}x-\frac{27}{7}-2
\\
\\y=\frac{3}{7}x-\frac{41}{7}$

Help!! <br>2x+3 (x-4)=x-20

prohojiy [21]

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

2x+3(x-4)=x-20
first distribute
2x+3(x)+3(-4)=x-20
2x+3x-12=x-20
5x-12=x-20
minus x both sides
4x-12=-20
add 12 to both sides
4x=-8
divide both sides by 4
x=-2
