Consider the line y=7x-3 fine the equation that pass through -5,6 of a perpendicular
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your equation is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Your line has a slope of 7. In order to find the line perpendicular to this line, we have to take the opposite reciprocal of the slope. The perpendicular slope to m = 7 is m = -1/7. Now we go through x = -5 and y = 6 to find the new equation.
6 = -1/7(-5) + b gives us
6 = 5/7 + b and
b = 37/7
Therefore, the equation of the line perpendicular to your original line is

Let's look at an example:
2.24 x 21.6
Do normal multiplication and get
48384 This is not correct, until we put the decimals in. To know how to do this, count the number of decimal spaces from the factors. In 2.24, there are 2, because .24. In 21.6 there are 1 because of .6. This mean three places, so 48384 becomes
48.384
