How to find slope intercept form for perpendicular lines

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
3 0
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.

The period of a periodic function is 8 s . How many cycles does it go through in 30 s ?
kap26 [50]

The number of cycles of the periodic function is 3.75 cycles if the period of a periodic function is 8 s option (G) 3.75 is correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

It is given that:

The period of a periodic function is 8 s

From the question:

8n = 30

n = 30/8

n = 3.75 cycles

Thus, the number of cycles of the periodic function is 3.75 cycles if the  period of a periodic function is 8 s option (G) 3.75 is correct.

21 3/16...as a decimal
the 21 is a whole number and goes to the left of the decimal....and the fraction 3/16 goes to the right of the decimal.
3/16 = 0.1875....now add ur 21 and u get 21.1875 inches wide

2 3/8....as a decimal
3/8 = 0.375....now put ur 2 in there and it becomes 2.375 inches thick

Adam dropped a rubber ball from a window 40 ft above the sidewalk the ball always bounces half of the height that it drops how f
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial height of the ball is 40 ft, when it bounces from the floor once the height will be 20 ft, the second time it'll be 10 ft, and so on. The sequence that can represent the maximum height of the ball after each bounce is:

{40, 20, 10,...}

This kind of sequence is called a geometric progression, in this kind of progression the next number is related to the one before it by the product of a constant called ratio, in this case 1/2. To calculate a specific position in this sequence we only need the ratio and the first number, using the formula below:

a_n = a*r^(n-1)

Where n is the position we want to know, a is the first number and r is the ratio. In this case we have:

a_4 = 40*(1/2)^(4-1) = 40*(1/2)^3 = 40/8 = 5

The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.

What are the real and imaginary parts of the complex number?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The real part is 2

The imaginary part is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part. For example given the complex number z = x+it

x is the real part of the complex number z i.e Re(z) = x

Imaginary part of the complex number z is y i.e Im(z) = y.

Note that the real part are on the x axis of a graph while the y axis is the imaginary axis attached to the complex notation i

Given the complex number 2-5i

Comparing 2-5i to x+iy

x= 2 and y = -5

The real part is 2 (value that is not attached to the complex notation)

The imaginary part is 5(value attached to the complex notation)

x + 4x = 48.5
5x = 48.5
x = 48.5/5
x = 9.7 cm   </span>←  shorter piece

longer piece = 4x = 4 * 9.7 = 38.8 cm
