To find the slope intercept form of a line perpendicular to a given equation, the first thing you need to do is to find the slope of the perpendicular line. Because lines perpendicular to one another are always have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of them, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=x would be -1 (since the slope of y=x is 1). Then, since the perpendicular line passes through the point (5, -3), you would plug in the values of the x and y into the equation
y=-1x+b to get -3=-1(5)+b.

When you simplify, solve for b to get b=2. Now that you have your slope (m=-1) and your y-intercept (b=2), you can conclude that your perpendicular equation would be y=-x+2.

Which equation listed below, when solved, shows how to find the circumference of a circle if the diameter is 6 inches? Use 3.14

siniylev [52]

The pertinent formula for the circumference of a circle with diameter d is

C =pi*d.

Thus, if the dia. is 6 inches, the circumf. is C = 6pi inches. Alternatively, if we let pi = 3.14, the circumf. is C = 6*3.14 (answer A).

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$
