Answer:

4/5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope-intercept form is y = ax+b

a is the slope, to figure it out the line is perpendicular to y = -5/4x+11/4

There is a rule said if two lines are perpendiculars, the multiplication of their slopes = -1, so -5/4 * a = 1, solve for a = 4/5

b is the intercept to get it use the point (0,7)

so y = 4/5x+b, 7 = 4/5 * 0 + b, then b = 7

omeli [17]

Answer:

5y = -2x + 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

y = $\frac{5}{2} x + 3$

Coordinate = (-7,9)

Unknown:

Equation of the line perpendicular = ?

Solution:

The slope - intercept format of a line is given as;

y = mx + c

where y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

y = $\frac{5}{2} x + 3$

From the given equation; slope is $\frac{5}{2}$

A line perpendicular will have a slope that is negative and the inverse of this;

slope of perpendicular line = $-\frac{2}{5}$

Since y= 9 and x = -7;

So;

9 = $\frac{-2}{5} x (-7)$ + C

9 = $\frac{14}{5}$ + C

C = 9 - $\frac{14}{5}$ = $\frac{31}{5}$

Now,

y = $-\frac{2}{5}$ x + $\frac{31}{5}$

mulitply through by 5;

5y = -2x + 31

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3. If both the numerator and the denominator are increased b

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The fraction is $\frac{4}{6}$

Option (B) is correct.

$3n-2d=0$ and $4n+8=3d+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n denotes numerator and d denotes denominator of the fraction.

Given : The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

That is $\frac{n}{d}=\frac{2}{3}$

Cross multiply , we get,

$3n=2d$

Or, $3n-2d=0$ ........(1)

Also, given : . If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes 3/4

That is $\frac{n+2}{d+2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Cross multiply , We get,

$4{n+2}={3}{d+2}$

$4n+8=3d+6$ .........(2)

$3d-4n=2$ .......(3)

Thus, from (1) and (2) , option (B) follows.

Solving equation (1) and (3) to get the original fraction using elimination method,

3n - 2d = 0 ............(1)

and 3d - 4n = 2 .........(3)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 , we get ,

9n - 6d = 0 ..........(4)

Multiply equation (3) by 2 , we get ,

-8n + 6d = 4 ..........(5)

Adding (4) and (5) , we get,

9n - 6d -8n + 6d = 4 + 0

⇒ n = 4

Put n = 4 in (1), we get

3n - 2d = 0 ⇒ 3(4) - 2d = 0 ⇒ 12 -2d = 0 ⇒ 12 = 2d ⇒ d = 6

so, the numerator is 4 and the denominator is 6.

Thus, the fraction is $\frac{4}{6}$

X = y - 8

Step by step
Y = x + 8
x + 8 = y
-8 -8
x = y - 8
