Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes equals - 1
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Consider the given equations
3x - 4y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 4y = - 3x + 12 ( divide terms by - 4 )
y = 
x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
3y = 12 - 4x = - 4x + 12 ( divide terms by 3 )
y = - 
x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Then
× - = - 1
Since the product of their slopes = - 1 then the lines are perpendicular
Answer:
y = -2x+6
y=8 when x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 6
Slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and y is the intercept
Solve for y
Subtract 2x from each side
y = -2x+6
The slope is -2 and the y intercept is -6
Let x = -1
y = -2(-1) +6
y = 2+6
y=8
(-1,8)
Answer:
The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation. So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation
Answer:
base = 5.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
area = 5.88 cm²
height = 2.1 cm
5.88 = 1/2 * base * 2.1
5.88 = 1.05 base
5.88 / 1.05 = base
base = 5.6 cm
