Which equation describes a line that passes through (-5,-8) and is perpendicular to y= 5/4x + 10

Answer: y = -4/5x - 12

1. First find slope. Since you are trying to find a line perpendicular to y = 5/4x + 10, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of 5/4x.

slope = - 4/5x

2. plug in (-5,-8) and the slope of -4/5 to the point slope form equation
(y-y2) = slope (x-x2)

= y+8=-4/5(x+5)

3. solve and simply y+8=-4/5(x+5)

y = -4/5x - 12 is your answer

Which inequality represents all values of x for which the quotient below is<br> defined?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Option B: x > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because \sqrt{3(0)}will be 0. So, the inequality can't be divided by 0.

Option C is wrong because 1 will suffice this inequality. \sqrt{7}/\sqrt{3}=1.5 (approx)

Option D is wrong because any value in the root has to be greater or equal to 0 (otherwise, it's imaginary number). -1 will give the latter root a value of root-(-3).

Leaving us with only option B, which is the right answer.

Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y - 1.4x = - 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation: find the slope, use point-slope form to calculate the equation, then convert the equation to standard form.

Slope: \frac{45-31}{37-27} = \frac{14}{10} = 1.4

Use point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Plug in x = 27, y = 31, and m = 1.4

y - 31 = 1.4(x - 27)

y - 31 = 1.4x - 37.8

y = 1.4x - 6.8

Convert this into standard form: ax + by = c

y - 1.4x = - 6.8

What is 2(x -3) = 7 (x+24)
amm1812

Answer:

x = -34.8

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>solve the equation</u></h2>

2(x-3)

= 2x - 6

7(x + 24 )

= 7x + 168

put the equation together

2x - 6 = 7x + 168

now make x subject of formula:

2x - 7x = 168 +6

-5x = 174

x = 174/ -5

<h3><u>x = -34.8 </u></h3>
