Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (7,2) and is perpendicular to y=5x-2

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{17}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a line</u>

A line can be represented by an equation of the form

$y=mx+b$

Where x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line, b is the y-intercept and y is the dependent variable.

We need to find the equation of the line passing through the point (7,2) and is perpendicular to the line y=5x-2.

Two lines with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if:

$m_1.m_2=-1$

The given line has a slope m1=5, thus the slope of our required line is:

$\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}=-\frac{1}{5}$

The equation of the line now can be expressed as:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b$

We need to find the value of b, which can be done by using the point (7,2):

$\displaystyle 2=-\frac{1}{5}*7+b$

Operating:

$\displaystyle 2=-\frac{7}{5}+b$

Multiplying by 5:

$10=-7+5b$

Operating:

$10+7=5b$

Solving for b:

$\displaystyle b=\frac{17}{5}$

The equation of the line is:

$\boxed{\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{17}{5}}$

A bakery sells 5 apple muffins for every 2 bran muffins.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$Apple\ muffin\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Bran\ muffin\\10\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4\\15\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6\\20\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 8\\35\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

$For\ 5\ apple\ muffins, bran\ muffin=2\\\\Ratio\ of\ bran\ muffin\ to\ apple\ muffin=\frac{number\ of\ bran\ muffin}{number\ of\ apple\ muffin}\\\\Ratio\ of\ bran\ muffin\ to\ apple\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times apple\ muffin\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=10\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 10=4\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=15\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 15=6\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=20\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 20=8$

$When\ apple\ muffin=35\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 35=14$

A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

____ [38]

Answer: 70 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the figure attached.

The distance between the walls is:

$DE=AD+AE$

<em />

Both triangles are right triangles. Therefore, you can calculate the distance between the walls as following:

- Calculate the distance AD:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(60\°)=\frac{AD}{60}\\AD=30m$

- Calculate the distance AE:

$tan\beta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\tan(45\°)=\frac{40}{AE}\\\\AE=\frac{40}{tan(45\°)}\\\\AE=40m$

Therefore the distance between the walls is:

$DE=30m+40m=70m$

Special right triangles.

Oliga [24]

QUESTION 9

The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to $x\:cm$ and the hypotenuse is $2\:units$ .

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

$x^2+x^2=2^2$

This implies that;

$2x^2=2^2$

$2x^2=4$

$x^2=2$

$x=\sqrt{2}$

$x=1.414$

$x\approx1.4\:units$

QUESTION 10

The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to $x\:units$ and the hypotenuse is $7\:units$ .

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

$x^2+x^2=7^2$

This implies that;

$2x^2=7^2$

$2x^2=49$

$x^2=24.5$

$x=\sqrt{24.5}$

$x=4.95\:units$

QUESTION 11

Sam divided the square backyard into two sections along the 40ft diagonal.

Let one of the sides of the garden be $x\:units$ , then the other side of the garden is also $x\:units$ since it was a square backyard.

The diagonal is the hypotenuse which is 40ft and the two legs are $x\:units$ each.

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

$x^2+x^2=40^2$

$2x^2=1600$

$x^2=800$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{800}$

$\Rightarrow x=28.28$

The length of one side of the garden is approximately 28cm.

QUESTION 12

The hypotenuse of Nicole's right triangular support is 92cm long.

It was given that the two lengths of the triangular support are of equal length.

Let the two lengths of the triangular support be $l\:cm$ each.

We then apply the Pythagoras theorem to obtain;

$l^2+l^2=92^2$

$\Rightarrow 2l^2=8464$

$\Rightarrow l^2=4232$

$\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{4232}$

$\Rightarrow l=65.05cm$

Therefore Nicole needs $l+l=65.05cm+65.05cm\approx130cm$ of wood to complete the support.

The correct answer is A.

QUESTION 13

A 45-45-90 triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

Let the length of the two legs be $m\:inches$ each.

It was given that the hypotenuse of this triangle is $12\:inches$ .

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

$m^2+m^2=12^2$

$\Rightarrow 2m^2=144$

$\Rightarrow m^2=72$

$\Rightarrow m=\sqrt{72}$

$\Rightarrow m=8.49$

The length of one leg of the hypotenuse is approximately 8.5 inches to 1 decimal place.

QUESTIONS 14.

It was given that the distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet.

Since the baseball field form a square, the length of the baselines are all 90ft.

We want to calculate the distance from home plate to 2nd base,which is the diagonal of the square baseball field.

Let this distance be $d\:ft$ , then using the Pythagoras theorem;

$d^2=90^2+90^2$

$d^2=8100+8100$

$d^2=16200$

$\:d=\sqrt{16200}$

$\:d=127.279$

Therefore the distance from home plate to second base is 127 ft to the nearest foot.

QUESTION 15.

The distance from third base to first base is also 127 ft to the nearest foot.

The reason is that the diagonals of a square are equal in length.

A jar contains, cardinal and

natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ince the only colors are white, green, yellow, red, and purple, we can see that NOT getting red or purple is the same as GETTING white, green or yellow

So, P(NOT getting red or purple) = P(GETTING white, green or yellow)

There are 60 jellybeans in total.

Number of jellybeans that are white, green or yellow = 22 + 18 + 11 = 51

So, P(GETTING white, green or yellow) = 51/60

= 17/20

= 0.85
