Answer:

Slope of the line y = x + 10 is 1. So, any straight line perpendicular to this must be having slope of (-1).

Let, the line be y = - x + b and it passes through (15, -5).

So, 15 = 5 + b

b = 10.

So, equation of that line: y = -x + 10

Or, x + y = 10.

Y-intercept of the line = 10 units.

Answer:

y= -x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

y= x+10, where m =1 is the slope and b=10 is the y-intercept

To know: Perpendicular lines have their slope <u>negative reciprocal </u>

y = - x+b is the line ⊥to the given line that has the slope m= -1

To find the y-intercept use the given point (15, -5)

    -5 = -15 +b

-5+15 = b

    10 = b

So the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y= x+10 and passes through the point (15,-5) is y= -x +10

What is the sum of 1 2/16 + .6 + (-½)
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

  1 9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Any calculator can tell you the sum is ...

  1 + 2/16 + 0.6 - 1/2 = 1.225

The decimal fraction can be reduced, if you like:

  225/1000 = (25)(9)/(25(40)) = 9/40

As a mixed number, the sum is 1 9/40.

__

Alternate solution

  1 2/16 + 0.6 -1/2 = 1 1/8 + (6/10 -5/10) = 1 1/8 + 1/10

  = 1 + (1/8 +1/10) = 1 +(5/40 +4/40) = 1 9/40

Which equation can be used to find the surface area of the cylinder?
ki77a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of the Cylinder

= 2πr² + 2πrh

r = 4 in

h = 16 in

Surface Area :

= 2πr² + 2πrh

= 2π (4)² + 2π (4) (16)
