Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y=1/5x-11 passing through the point (0,-8)

Mathematics

Lilit [14]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line function is always the factor of x.

in our case here : 1/5

it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.

in our case that means y increases by 1 for every increase of x by 5.

now, the perpendicular slope simply changes x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

so, here the perpendicular slope is : -5/1 = -5

the line function looks therefore like

y = -5x + b

b is the y-intercept, and we get it by using the coordinates of the point for x and y :

-8 = -5×0 + b = b

so, the full line function is

y = -5x - 8

The perimeter of a​ standard-sized rectangular rug is 4040 ft. the length is 22 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions.
Nataly_w [17]
L = w+22

2(l+w) = 4040
2(w+22+w) = 4040
2w + 22 = 4040/2 = 2020
2w = 2020-22 = 1998
w = 999ft

l = w+22 = 999+22 = 1021ft
w = 999 ft

Use the pattern below for questions 6 - 8.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The sequence given</u>

  • 6, 19, 58, 175

<u>We see the pattern: triple the previous term plus 1</u>

  • 2) 19 = 6*3 + 1
  • 3) 58 = 19*3 + 1
  • 4) 175 = 58*3 + 1

<u>Next two terms</u>

  • 5) 175*3 + 1 = 526
  • 6) 526*3 + 1 = 1579

<u>Following two terms</u>

  • 7) 1579*3 + 1 = 4738
  • 8) 4738*3 + 1 = 14215

Given that angleAXB is complementary to both angleCYD and angleFZE, and mangleAXB = 20°, what is mangleCYD + mangleFZE?
AlladinOne [14]
If angle AXB is complementary with  angle CYD and FZE
 then their sum leads to 90°
∠AXB+∠CYD=90
∠AXB+∠FZE=90

if ∠AXB=20 then both∠ CYD and∠FZE=70°
