Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines perpendicular to the line y = -¹/₄ x - 1 will have a gradient that is the negative reciprocal (4).

∴ any line with a gradient of 4 would be perpendicular

examples include but are not limited to:

y = 4 x - 1

y = 4 x - 10

y = 4 x - 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular is 90 degrees or inverse slope of that point

y = -1/4x -1

so the inverse slope of -1/4 is 4

now the other equation is

y = 4x - 1

So the two equations are

y = -1/4x -1

y = 4x - 1

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).

QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

$\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}$

Using the section formula expressed as

$[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

In this case,

$\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}$

where

$\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}$

Thus, by substitution, we have

$\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is

$0$
