Answer:

6x + y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two lines that are perpendicular to each other is -1

If line A has a slope of m1

and line B has a slope of m2 and they are perpendicular to each other,

then the product of the two lines is

m1 X m2 = -1

We are given two lines that are perpendicular to each other in the question.

The first line has the equation

x - 6y =12

We can write the slope form of the equation y = mx + c

m = slope

x - 6y = 12

Make y subject of formula

6y = x - 12

y = x/6 - 12/6

y = x/6 - 2

y =(1/6)x - 2

Comparing y=mx+c and y=(1/6)x-2,

m corresponds to 1/6

Therefore, we can say that the slope, m of the line x-6y=12

is 1/6

Recall, for two lines that are perpendicular to each other,

m1 X m2 = -1

m1 = 1/6

1/6 X m2 = -1

m2/6 = -1

Cross multiply

m2 = 6 X -1

m2 = -6

Step 3

To find the equation of the second line with slope, m2 = -6 and that passes through the point (-1,4)

Points are represented by coordinates (x, y)

the slope of a line is given by

m = (y - y1)/(x-x1)

Given in the question, the point (-1,4) corresponds to (x1, y1).

As calculated earlier, the slope of the second line is -6

-6 = (y - 4)/[x - (-1)]

-6 = (y - 4)/(x + 1)

Cross multiply

y - 4 = -6(x + 1)

y - 4 = -6x - 1

y = -6x - 1 + 4

y = -6x + 3

this equation is the slope form equation of the line

6x + y = 3 is the general form of the equation

15m+20g=300<br>m+g=17<br><br>solve by elimination and SHOW YOUR WORK​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

change the order, so the terms line up

20g+15m=300

g+m=17

multiply the second equation by 20, so the 20g and -20g can cancel out

20g+15m=300

-20g-20m=-340

solve the equation, then divide -5 to both sides to isolate the m

-5m=-40

m=8

substitute the value of m into one equation to find the other value

g+8=17

g=9

write them in ordered paired form

(9, 8)

hope this helps :)

. a thin plate made of iron is located in the xy-plane. the temperature t in degrees celsius at a point p(x,y) is inversely prop
harkovskaia [24]

The level of the curves are all the eclipses with the major axis.

             100                        50          1

a2 =       ------  - 1   ,   b2 =   -------  -   -----

               C                            C           2

Given that:

               100

T(x, y) = ------------

               1 + x2 + y2

This implies that the level curves of a function(f) of two variables relate to the curves with equation f(x, y) = c

where c is the constant.

                 100

        C = ------------                          ----- (1)

             1 + x2 + y2

By cross multiply

C (1 + x2 + y2) = 100

1 + x2 + y2 = 100/C

       

               100

x2 + y2= ---------  - 1                    -----(2)

                 C

From (2); let's assume that the values of c > 0 likewise c < 100, then the interval can be expressed as 0 < c <100.

Now,

(x)2           (y)2

------   +     ---------------

100            50          1

------  - 1     -------  -   -----

C                C           2

This is the equation for the  family of the eclipses centered at (0,0) is :

x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1

             100                        50          1

a2 =       ------  - 1      b2 =   -------  -   -----

              C                            C           2

Therefore; the level of the curves are all the eclipses with the major axis:

             100                        50          1

a2 =       ------  - 1      b2 =   -------  -   -----

              C                            C           2

 and a minor axis   which satisfies the values for which 0< c < 100.

The sketch of the level curves can be see in the attached image below.
