Answer:

y = - 1/4 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x - 7

Slope = 4

Slope of the perpendicular line = -1/4

Point (8,2)

(b) y-intercept: 2 - (-1/4)(8)

= 2 + 2 = 4

Answer:

1. 80 yd

2. 10 and 10 of the other side

3. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As we were asked to stay 240 feet away, and we will be on a soccer field and it has marked distances in yards we just have to pass our feet to yards.

1 ft = 1/3 yd

240 ft = 240/3 yd

240 ft = 80 yd

2. one would have to stand in yard 10 and the other in yard 10 but from the other side of the field

50-10 = 40

40 + 40 = 80 yd

if they are diagonally the distance will be greater than 80, since the yards are parallel, because only the distance would remain only if they are on the same height

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line

ddd [48]

Answer:

$y=-x+16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 3 and -1/3, 5/6 and -6/5, etc.)

1) Determine the slope (m)

y=x-9

Rewrite the equation

y=1x-9

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope of the line is 1. The negative reciprocal of 1 is -1, so therefore, the slope of a perpendicular line would be -1. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-1x+b\\y=-x+b$
