Answer:

\displaystyle y = -4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (-2, 3) and is perpendicular to the line:

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

Note that this line has a slope of 1/4.

Recall that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Since the slope of our old line is 1/4, the slope of its perpendicular line must be -4.

We are also given that it passes through the point (-2, 3). So, we can consider using point-slope form:

\displaystyle y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Let (-2, 3) be (<em>x₁, y₁</em>) and substitute -4 for the slope <em>m</em>. Hence:

\displaystyle y - (3)= -4 (x - (-2))

Convert into slope-intercept form. Simplify:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} y -3 &= -4 (x + 2) \\ y - 3 &= -4x - 8 \\ y &= -4x -5\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the perpendicular line that passes through the point (-2, 3) is given by:

\displaystyle y = -4x - 5

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is V=187\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}BH

where

B is the area of the base of the pyramid

H is the height of the pyramid

we have

B=93.5\ ft^{2}

H=6\ ft

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}(93.5)(6)=187\ ft^{3}

What value of b makes the trinomial below a perfect square x^2-bx+100
Aloiza [94]
1. Perfect square trinomials, are 2nd degree polynomials, of the form          a x^{2} +bx+c so that a \neq 0, b \neq 0, c \neq 0, which can be written as perfect squares.

2. For example (x+1) ^{2} = x^{2} +2x+1&#10; &#10;(3x-1)^{2}= (3x)^{2}-2(3x)+(-1) ^{2}= 9x^{2}-6x+1    &#10;

3. Thus x^{2} +2x+1, 9x^{2}-6x+1 are perfect square trinomials.

4. x^{2} -bx+100= x^{2} -bx+ 10^{2}= (x+10)^{2}   or  (x-10)^{2}

5. In the first case -b=20, so b=-20. In the second case, -b=-20, so b=20.

6. b∈{-20, 20}

Use a number line to explain why --15 ÷ 3 =-15
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
It's equal to -15 because you are dividing by an negative and if it's only 1 negative number in your equation then your answer will be a negative and if it's 2 negatives then it would be a positive answer
