Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

4 meters - 1.25 meters=2.75m is the length of the second one.

But when they ask how <u>much longer</u> , I think they want you to <u>compare</u> the two pieces meaning to get the answer you have to take 2.75m-1.25m=<u>1.5m</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>how</u><u> </u><u>much</u><u> </u><u>longer</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>2nd</u><u> </u><u>fabric</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>longer</u><u> </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>other</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u>.</u>

<u>hope</u><u> </u><u>am</u><u> </u><u>right</u><u /><u />

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

the fabric is 4 meters long

first piece is 1.25 meters long

second piece will be (4-1.25)=2.75 meters long

therefore the second piece is (2.75-1.25) meters longer

Write an equation perpendicular to x - 4y = 20 that passes through the point (4, -3)
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

y = - 4x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this problem you would need a whole new equation, but you will use what is given to you:

instead of going with:

x - 4y = 20

Turn it into y = mx + b form, also known as slope-intercept form:

x - 4y = 20

-x       = -x

_________

- 4y = 20 - x

Then divide both sides by - 4:

\frac{-4y}{-4} = \frac{-x + 20}{-4}

You will then get:

y = \frac{1}{4}x - 5

From this equation we will only need the slope!

m || = \frac{1}{4}

(This slope is for parallel)

but if you want perpendicular to the slope, then we need the negative reciprocal!

Negative reciprocal is a flipped version of the value that is negative, for example:

2 = -\frac{1}{2}

Because \frac{2}{1} = 2

Now we will find the perpendicular slope which is:

m ⊥ = - 4

Now substitute this slope into slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

(-3) = -4(4) + b

(Take away parentheses)

-3 = -16 + b

(Move - 3 to the other side, by making it positive, but what you do to one side, you do to the other)

= -13 + 6

(Move - 13 to the other side, by make - 13 into +13)

+13 = +13

________

13 = b

(This is you b, also known as you intercept)

Your answer is:

y = -4x + 13

Need help with 13 and 14
Svetach [21]

Answer:

13. A

14. C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a function if there is only one y assigned to each x.

That is if you have a set of points, there should be no repeated x value.

So looking at {(0,0),(-2,4),(-2,-4),(-3,7)} this is not a function because you have two x's that are the same. A.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is where the graph goes through the y-axis at.  It goes through at -1 so b=-1.

The slope is rise/run.  So starting from the y-intercept (0,-1) we need to find another point to count the rise & run to... How about (3,1)? That works.  You can do the counting if you want. You could also use the slope formula.

To use the slope formula, I just like to line the points up vertically and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over the 1st difference.

(0,-1)

-(3,1)

--------

-3  -2

So the slope is -2/-3 or just 2/3.

So the equation is y=2/3 x-1

C.
