Answer:

$- \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -10y= 40

Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.

10y= 4x -40

Divide both side by 10:

$y = \frac{2}{5} x - 4$

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

⅖(gradient of line)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular line

$= - 1 \div \frac{2}{5}$

$= - 1 \times \frac{5}{2}$

$= - \frac{5}{2}$

The line with equation x-3y-27=0 meets the parabola y²=4x at two points. Find their coordinates

lesantik [10]

$x-3y-27=0\\
y^2=4x\\\\
x-3y-27=0\\
x=\frac{y^2}{4}\\\\
\frac{y^2}{4}-3y-27=0\\
y^2-12y-108=0\\
y^2-12y+36-144=0\\
(y-6)^2=144\\
y-6=-12 \vee y-6=12\\
y=-6 \vee y=18\\\\
x=\frac{(-6)^2}{4} \vee x=\frac{18^2}{4}\\
x=\frac{36}{4} \vee x=\frac{324}{4}\\
x=9 \vee x=81\\\\
\boxed{(9,-6),(81,18)}
