What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -2/5x-7 and passes through (4,-1)?

Step-by-step explanation:

maybe this is not the full expression, as you wrote the line equation in a funny way.

I understand the following :

the line is

y = (-2/5)×x - 7

perpendicular means crossing at a right angle (90 degrees).

the slope of the original line is -2/5.

as in every line equation, the slope is the factor of x. and it expresses the ratio y/x indicating the amount of units y is changing, when x changes a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).

the perpendicular slope turns the original y/x ratio upside-down, and also flips the sign.

so, it is 5/2.

the equation for the perpendicular line looks like

y = (5/2)×x + b

now what is b ?

for this we use the specified point on the line : (4, -1)

and we put these values as x and y into the equation :

-1 = (5/2)×4 + b = 5×2 + b = 10 + b

b = -11

and so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (5/2)×x - 11

What should be added to a²-2ab+b² to get a²-ab-2b² ​
dybincka [34]

<u>SOLUTION</u><u>:</u>

<u>what should be added to a²-2ab+b² to get a²-ab-2b² </u>

let the added no is P

  • \pmb{P+(a^2-2ab+b^2)=(a^2-ab-2b^2) }

  • \pmb{P=(a^2-ab-2b^2)-(a^2-2ab+b^2) }

  • \pmb{P=a^2-ab-2b^2-a^2+2ab-b^2 }

  • \pmb{P=ab-3b^2 }

\therefore{\pmb{ab-3b^2 }} should be added to a²-2ab+b² to get a²-ab-2b²

The perimeter of a rectangle is 15x+17y. if the length is 7/2x+7y, then find the width of the rectangle
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Length : \frac{7x}{2} + 7y

Perimeter: 15x + 17y

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

15x + 17y = 2( \frac{7x}{2} + 7y + Width)

15x + 17y = 7x + 14y + 2(Width)

15x + 17y -7x -14y = 2(Width)

8x + 3y = 2(Width)

Width = \frac{8x + 3y}{2}

Width = 4x + 3y/2
