Answer:

4x + 9y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

9x - 4y = - 5 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 4y = - 9x - 5 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y = \frac{9}{4} x + \frac{5}{4} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{9}{4}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{9}{4} } = - \frac{4}{9} , then

y = - \frac{4}{9} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 9, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1

y = - \frac{4}{9} x - 1 ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fraction )

9y = - 4x - 9 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 9y = - 9 ← equation in standard form

Two Trains left a station at the same time. One traveled north at a certain speed and the other traveled south at twice that spe
sashaice [31]
Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train
:

Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600

Prove that Tan x + Cos x = 1 /Sin x .Cos x​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

tanx + cotx =  \frac{1}{sinxcosx}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Take R.H.S   = \frac{1}{sinxcosx}

            =      \frac{sin^{2}x+cos^{2}x  }{sinxcosx}

          =      \frac{sin^{2}x }{sinx cosx} + \frac{cos^{2} x}{sinxcosx}

        = \frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{cosx}{sinx}

        = tanx + cotx

tanx + cotx =  \frac{1}{sinxcosx}
