Answer:

y - 2 = (-3)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation for y enables us to determine the slope of this line:

3y = x + 12, or y = (1/3)x + 4.

Any line perpendicular to this line has slope -3, which is the negative reciprocal of 1/3.

The desired equation (of the perpendicular line through (5,2 ) is then

y - 2 = (-3)(x - 5)

Ten times an integer is added to seven times it’s square. If the result is 152, what was the original number?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Required number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be a.

Given,

Sum of ten times the integer and seven times it’s square is 152.

= > Ten times of a + seven times of it's square = 152

= > 10( a ) + 7( a )^2 = 152

= > 10a + 7a^2 - 152 = 0

= > 7a^2 + 10a - 152 = 0

= > 7a^2 + ( 38 - 28 )a - 152 = 0

= > 7a^2 + 38a - 28a - 152 = 0

= > a( 7a + 38 ) - 4( 7a + 38 ) = 0

= > ( a - 4 )( 7a + 38 ) = 0

= > a = 4 or - 38 / 7

Hence the required number is 4.

How do I do this? someone please help me
Montano1993 [528]
If you have to compare two shapes you basically count the number of shapes there are of each type then you say for example 6:4. If they ask you to give the number of shapes to the number of shapes there are you count all the shapes and then you count the shape they asked you to find and then you will get something like 4:15
