Consider the line y=4x-4.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- parallel: y = 4x -6
- perpendicular: y = -1/4x +27/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want the new line to be written in slope-intercept form, we need to find the new value of the y-intercept. The equation of the line is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b
Solving for b gives ...
b = y -mx . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides.
The values of x and y come from the point we want the line to pass through. The value of m will be the same for the parallel line as for the given line: 4. For the perpendicular line, it will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/4.
<u>Parallel line</u>
b = 6 -4(3) = 6 -12 = -6
y = 4x -6
Perpendicular line
b = 6 -(-1/4)(3) = 6 +3/4 = 27/4
y = -1/4x +27/4

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.
We have to calculate the interest paid.
Interest =
Substituting the values of
Principal = $1058
Rate = 13%
Time = 9 months = year
Interest =
Interest = 103.155
= 103.16
So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.
Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
