How to find slope intercept form for perpendicular lines

Mathematics

Helga [31]3 years ago

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.

At age 7, Maui competed in the high jump competition and managed a personal best of 3ft. At age 11 she was jumping 5ft. Her coac
Helen [10]

The high-jumper's centre of mass is about two-thirds of the way up his body when he is standing or running in towards the take off point. He needs to increase his launch speed to the highest possible by building up his strength and speed, and then use his energy and gymnastic skill to raise his centre of gravity by H, which is the maximum that the formula U2=2gH will allow. Of course there is a bit more to it in practice! When a high jumper runs in to launch himself upwards he will only be able to transfer a small fraction of his best possible horizontal sprinting speed into his upward launch speed. He has only a small space for his approach run and must turn around in order to take off with his back facing the bar. The pole vaulter is able to do much better. He has a long straight run down the runway and, despite carrying a long pole, the world's best vaulters can achieve speeds of close to 10 metres per second at launch. The elastic fibre glass pole enables them to turn the energy of their horizontal motion 12MU2 into vertical motion much more efficiently than the high jumper. Vaulters launch themselves vertically upwards and perform all the impressive gymnastics necessary to curl themselves in an inverted U-shape over the bar,sending their centre of gravity as far below it as possible.

Pole vaulter

Let's see if we can get a rough estimate of how well we might expect them to do. Suppose they manage to transfer all their horizontal running kinetic energy of 12MU2 into vertical potential energy of MgH then they will raise their centre of mass a height of:

H=U22g

If the Olympic champion can reach 9 ms−1 launch speed then since the acceleration due to gravity is g=10 ms−2 we expect him to be able to raise his centre of gravity height of H=4 metres. If he started with his centre of gravity about 1.5 metres above the ground and made it pass 0.5 metres below the bar then he would be expected to clear a bar height of 1.5+4+0.5=6 metres. In fact, the American champion Tim Mack won the Athens Olympic Gold medal with a vault of 5.95 metres (or 19′614" in feet and inches) and had three very close failures at 6 metres, knowing he had already won the Gold Medal, so our very simple estimates turn out to be surprisingly accurate.

What is the greatest common factor of 19x7 and 3x5?
grandymaker [24]
Simple,

first find what 19*7 and 3*5 is,

19*7=133
and
3*5=15

Factors in 133:
1,7,19,133

Factors in 15:
1,3,5,15

The GCF of 133 and 15 is 1. You can't simplify/reduce it anymore.
