Answer:

y=-1/4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a line, you would take the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

Before that, we need to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

-4x+y=10

y=4x+10

The opposite reciprocal of the slope is -1/4.

Now, let's use the point-slope formula to find our equation of the line that passes through (-4,9).

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-9=-1/4(x-(-4))

y-9=-1/4x-1

y=-1/4x+8

If a salesperson sells 3/4 of an acre for $80,000, what was the price per square foot rounded to two decimal spaces?

Julli [10]

Now, recalling that for 1 yard, there are 3 feet, therefore $\bf \begin{array}{ll}
yards&feet\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1yd&3ft\\
(1yd)^2&(3ft)^2\\
yd^2&3^2ft^2\\
&9ft^2
\end{array}$

and keeping in mind that, there are 4840 yd² in 1 acre, then

$\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}~\underline{acre}\quad }{80000~\$}\cdot \cfrac{4840~\underline{yd^2}}{\underline{acre}}\cdot \cfrac{9~ft^2}{\underline{yd^2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}\cdot4840\cdot 9~ft^2}{80000~\$}\implies \cfrac{\frac{130680}{4}}{80000}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{130680}{4}}{\frac{80000}{1}}\implies \cfrac{130680}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{80000}\implies \cfrac{3267}{8000}~\frac{ft^2}{\$}~\approx~ 0.408375 ~\frac{ft^2}{\$}$

4 1/2 divided by 2 3/8

Yuki888 [10]

First you make them mixed numbers:
9/2 ÷ 19/8
Then you flip the second fraction around
9/2 ÷ 8/19
Then you change ÷ to ×
9/2 × 8/19
And then multiply across!
72/38 = 1 34/38 = 1 17/19 (the final answer)
Hope this helps!

Jen Butler has been pricing Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $ 132.

laiz [17]

Let a=price of adult ticket
let c=price of a child's ticket
start out by writing the following system of equations:
3a+4c=132
2a+3c=94
then, multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3 to get the following system of equations:
6a+8c=264
6a+9c=282
subtract the like terms to get the following equation:
-c=-18
divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative to get the price of a child's ticket to be $18. to find the price of an adult ticket, pick one of the original equations to substitute the 18 in for c to find a. for example:
2a+3c=94
2a+3(18)=94
2a+54=94
-54 -54
2a=40
2 2
a=20

or if you decide to use the other equation:
3a+4c=132
3a+4(18)=132
3a+72=132
-72 -72
3a=60
3 3
a=20
either way, you still get an adults ticket to be $20 and a child's ticket to be $18.

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
