Find the equation of the line through ( - 10, - 8) that is perpendicular to the line through (10,6), (5,5).

Answer:

y=-5x-58

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Anyways we need to find the slope of the line going through (10,6) and (5,5).

To find the slope, we are going to line up the points vertically and subtract vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference. Like so:

 (  10   ,   6)

- (   5   ,   5)

------------------

    5         1

So the slope of the line through (10,6) and (5,5) is 1/5.

The slope of a line that is perpendicular will be the opposite reciprocal of 1/5.

The opposite reciprocal of 1/5 is -5.

The line we are looking for is y=-5x+b where we need to find the y-intercept b.

y=-5x+b goes through (-10,-8)

So we can use (x,y)=(-10,-8) to find b in y=-5x+b.

y=-5x+b with (x,y)=(-10,-8)

-8=-5(-10)+b

-8=50+b

Subtract 50 on both sides:

-8-50=b

-58=b

So the equation is y=-5x-58

The distance between two locations, A and B, is calculated using a third location C at a distance of 15 miles from location B. I
Jobisdone [24]
We will first calculate ∠A:
∠∠A = 180° - ( 105° + 20 ° ) = 180° - 125° = 55°
Then we will use the Sine Law:
15 / sin 55° = AB / sin 20°
15 / 0.81915 = AB / 0.342
AB · 0.81915 = 15 · 0.342
AB · 0.81915 = 5.13
AB = 5.13 : 0.81915
AB = 6.26 ≈ 6.3 miles
Answer: The distance between the locations A and B is 6.3 miles.

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below. Sparkles the Clown makes balloon animals for children at birthday p
almond37 [142]

Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break it down.

Sparkles used 12 balloons total to make 4 balloon animals. Divide 12 by 4, and you will get 3.

What I did for part 2 of the equation, is I multiplied 4 and 5 by 3 to ensure the variable matched my calculations. 4x3 is 12, and 5x3 is 15. add 12 and 15, and you will get 27 total balloons.

Geometric Probability
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) P= Area of Circle/ Area of large rectangle

Area of the circle = pi·r² = pi·2²=4 pi ft.²

Area of large rectangle=  l·w -12·10 =120 ft.²

P = 4pi/120 rewrite 120 as 4·30

P= 4 pi/4*30 = pi/30 = 3.14/40 ≈ .1047 ≈10% (because .1047·100 =10.47≅10)

2) P = Area of smaller rectangle/ Area of large rectangle

Area of smaller rectangle = l·w = 2·4 =8 ft.²

Area of large rectangle=l·w = 12·10=120 ft²

P= 8/120 ≅ .0666≅ 7% (because .0666·100 =6.66≅7)

3) P= Not the circle or smaller rectangle/ Area of large rectangle

Not the circle or smaller rectangle area

= Area of large rectangle - Area of circle -Area of smaller rectangle

= 120 -4·pi -8 = 120 - (4· 3.14) -8 = 99.4362939 ft²

Area of large rectangle = l·w = 12·10 =120 ft²

P = 99.4362939 /120 ≅ .8286 ≅83% (because .8286·100 =82.86≅83)
