The given line segment has a midpoint at (−1, −2).

As the midpoint is a point on the perpendicular line, we can solve by eliminating the other equations, like this:
Check if the point (-1,-2) is on the line y=-4x-4:
-4(-1)-4=0 is differente from -2.
-4(-1)-6=-2, so (-1,-2) is on the line y=-4x-6.
We check also for the other equation like this:
Third equation: (-1)-4 = -5 not equal to -2. 
Fourth equation: (-1)-6=-7 not equal to -2. 
So the correct answer is the line y=-4x-6

1. Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 14 when x = –4. What is the value of y when x = –6?
juin [17]
<span>1) y varies directly with x, then we have: y = kx,  k is the constant of variation 

y = kx

14 = - 4k
k = 14/- 4, or - 7/2, or - 3.5 

y = kx
y = - 3.5(- 6) 
y=21

2) </span><span>201.6 is the right answer.see the procedure used in Q1.

3) K = y/x
        = 9/12
        = 3/4</span>

john is now three times as old as his brother Sam. In five years, john will be twice as old as Sam will be then. Find their pres
shtirl [24]
J=john's age now
s=sam's age now

j=3 times s
j=3s
in five years (j+5,s+5)
j+5=2 times (5+s)
j+5=2(s+5)
j+5=2s+10
subtract 5 from both sides
j=2s+5
use other equation
j=3s
j=2s+5
subsitute
3s=2s+5
subtract 2s
s=5

sam=5
j=3s
j=3 times 5
j=15


john=15
sam=5

PLZZZ HELP DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?!?!?<br> Find x and y
yanalaym [24]

According to the figure, I can safely assume that the 10 cm line and 15 cm line are parallel.

Thus, there are two similar triangles, one with the 10 cm bottom and 15 cm bottom, where one triangle is larger by a factor of 15/10 = 3/2

We know that the 8 cm line segment and y both join to create the side of the large triangle.

8cm + y = the side of the large triangle

Multiplying 8cm by 3/2 gives us 12, since we know the large triangle is 3/2 times larger than the smaller one.

8 + y = 12

y = 4 cm

Finding x is going to be a bit different. We know that the 6 cm line and x form the side of the larger triangle, which we know is 3/2 times larger than x.

x + 6cm = ?

The side of the larger triangle is 3/2x, thus

x + 6 = 3/2 x

Subtract both sides by x

6 = 1/2 x

Multiply both sides by 2

12 cm = x

Thus, y = 4 and x = 12.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
