Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (4,2) that is perpendicular to the line y=4/3 x

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're looking at perpendicular lines, the slope of the new line is the reciprocal of the original line.

So the slope of our new line is $\frac{3}{4}$

So far, we are looking at $y=\frac{3}{4} x+b$

Now we need to find the b value by plugging in the given point.

$2=\frac{3}{4}(4)+b\\ 2=3+b\\ b=-1$

So the final equation is $y=\frac{3}{4}x-1$

2/5y - 4 + 7 - 9/10y with steps

Lesechka [4]

Let's simplify step-by-step.

2/ 5 y−4+7− 9 /10 y = 2 /5 y+−4+7+ −9 /10 y

Combine Like Terms: = 2 /5 y+−4+7+ −9 /10 y

(2 /5 y+ −9 /10 y)+(−4+7) = −1 /2 y+3

Answer: = −1 /2 y+3

Hope I could help! :)

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

TEA [102]

Answer:

y= -2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).

Let's find the gradient of the given line.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 -y 2}{x1 - x2} }$

Gradient of given line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 5)}{3 - ( - 9)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{3 + 9}$

$= \frac{6}{12}$

$= \frac{1}{2}$

The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector

= -1 ÷(½)

= -1(2)

= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}) }$
