To find a perpendicular slope (or line), the slope (in this case 4x) must be the opposite sign and its reciprocal, which is basically the fraction flipped upside down. Since 4 is technically 4/1, that fraction flipped is 1/4. And since you need to flip the sign too, instead of it being a positive number, it's negative. Your answer is -1/4x-8
Answer:
y=x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the slope is -4/-4 =1
We plug it into the formula, y=mx+b, but m=1
So it is y=1x+b
We know the points, so we plug y and x in which is:
-4=-4*4+b
-4=-16+b
b=12
So the point slope form of that is y=x+12
14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
