Write an equation of the line that passed through (7,10) and is perpendicular to the line y=1/2x-9

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The equation of the line perpendicular to y=1/2x-9 passing through the point (7,10) is y=-2x+24.

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to another line, we need to determine the slope of the given line and use the negative reciprocal of that slope for our new line. The line given is y = ½x - 9, so the slope (m) is ½. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of ½, which is -2.

The next step is to use the point given, (7,10), and the slope of the perpendicular line to write the equation in point-slope form, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1). Plugging in our values we get: y - 10 = -2(x - 7).

Finally, we can rearrange this into slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by simplifying and solving for y:


 y - 10 = -2x + 14
 y = -2x + 24

Therefore, the equation of the line perpendicular to y = ½x - 9 that passes through the point (7,10) is y = -2x + 24.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints C(1,0) and D(5,4)

Answers

Answer:

(3, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints are (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) [

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 4), thus

midpoint = [0.5(1 + 5), 0.5(0 + 4) ] = (0.5(6), 0.5(4)) = (3, 2 )

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a midpoint of two given points, we can use the formula:

[tex](x_{m} ,y_{m} ) = (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2} , \frac { y_{1} +y_{2}}{2})[/tex]

(i.e. we just take the average of the x coordinates, and similarly, the average of the y coordinates).

so we get:

midpoint =  ( (1+5)/2, (0+4)/2 )

               =   (3, 2)

Joe made a scale drawing of the community pool in his town. the pool has a perimeter of 77 meters, what is the length and width in meters?

Answers

Answer:

The length of the pool is 28 meters and the width of the pool is 10.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the scale drawing of Joe, the community pool has (length : width) = 8 : 3

Let the actual length of the pool is 8x meters and the actual width is 3x meters.

Now, given that the actual pool has a perimeter of 77 meters.

So, 2(8x + 3x) = 77

⇒ 22x = 77

x = 3.5

So, the length of the pool is 8x = 8(3.5) = 28 meters and the width of the pool is 3x = 3(3.5) = 10.5 meters. (Answer)

Select TWO equations that have infinitely many solutions.

B.
6(x – 9) = 6x – 54 + x
C.
4(x + 4) = 2(2x + 5) + 6
D.
5(x – 8) + 10 = 5(x + 2)

Answers

Answer: A.   2(7 – 4x) = 4(5 – 2x) – 6

C.   4(x + 4) = 2(2x + 5) + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Infinitely solution means when all numbers are solutions . Checking the equations given one by one

A. 2(7- 4x ) = 4(5 - 2x ) - 6

Expanding , we have

14 - 8x = 20 - 8x - 6

14 - 8x = 20 - 6 - 8x

14 - 8x = 14 - 8x , this is just a typical example of infinitely many solutions because any value of x chosen will satisfy the equation.

B. 6(x - 9 ) = 6x - 54 + x

Expanding , we have

6x - 54 = 6x + x - 54

6x - 54 = 7x - 54

collecting the like terms

6x - 7x = -54 + 54

- x = 0

x = 0

This equation has just one solution at x = 0 , because 0 is the only value of x that will satisfy the equation

C. 4( x + 4 ) = 2 ( 2x + 5 ) + 6

4x + 16 = 4x + 10 + 6

4x + 16 = 4x + 16

This equation also have infinitely many solutions

D. 5 ( x - 8 ) + 10 = 5 ( x + 2 )

5x - 40 + 10 = 5x + 10

5x - 30 = 5x + 10

This equation has no solution.

Therefore , the equations with infinitely many solutions are equations A and C

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and almonds. For 6 pounds of jelly beans and 2
pounds of almonds, the total cost is $16 . For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 5 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $13. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of almonds.

Answers

The cost of each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.25 and cost of each pound of almond is $ 1.25

Solution:

Let the cost of each pound of jelly beans is "a"

Let the cost of each pound of almond is "b"

For 6 pounds of jelly beans and 2  pounds of almonds, the total cost is $16

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

6 pounds of jelly beans x cost of each pound of jelly beans + 2  pounds of almonds x cost of each pound of almond = 16

[tex]6 \times a + 2 \times b = 16[/tex]

6a + 2b = 16 --------- eqn 1

For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 5 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $13

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

3 pounds of jelly beans x cost of each pound of jelly beans + 5 pounds of almonds x cost of each pound of almond = 13

[tex]3 \times a + 5 \times b = 13[/tex]

3a + 5b = 13 ----------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 2 with 2

6a + 10b = 26 --------- eqn 3

Subtract eqn 1 from eqn 3

6a + 10b = 26

6a + 2b = 16

( - ) -------------------------

8b = 10

[tex]b = \frac{10}{8} = 1.25[/tex]

b = 1.25

Substitute b = 1.25 in eqn 1

6a + 2(1.25) = 16

6a + 2.5 = 16

6a = 13.5

a = 2.25

Thus cost of each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.25 and cost of each pound of almond is $ 1.25

Raphael runs every day for several weeks. He runs for 35 days in a row. How many weeks did he run?

Answers

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 days in a week.

5 weeks * 7 days = 35 days.

Raphael ran for a total of 5 weeks.

To calculate how many weeks Raphael ran, we need to divide the number of days he ran by the number of days in a week.

Raphael ran for 35 days.

Since there are 7 days in a week, we divide 35 by 7:

35 days / 7 days per week = 5 weeks

Therefore, Raphael ran for 5 weeks.

A 22inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third piece is one inch more than four times the length of the first piece. Find the length of the pieces

Answers

Answer:

The length of the pieces is 3 inch, 6 inch and 13 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the length of the first piece is x inch.

Hence, the length of the second piece is 2x.

It is given that, the length of the third piece is one inch more than four times of the first piece. Hence, the length of the third piece is 4x + 1 inch.

The total length of the steel is 22 inch.

Hence, x + 2x + 4x + 1 = 22

or, 7x = 21

or, x = 3.

The length of the second piece is [tex]2x = 2\times3 =[/tex] 6 inch.

The length of the third piece is [tex]4x + 1 = 12 + 1 =[/tex] 13 inch.

Final answer:

The lengths of the three pieces of steel are 3 inches, 6 inches, and 13 inches respectively.

Explanation:

Let's denote the length of the first piece as x. According to the problemm, the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, which could be represented as 2x. The third piece is said to be one inch more than four times the length of the first piece, which could be represented as 4x + 1. Since the total length of the steel is given as 22 inches, we write down this equation: x + 2x + 4x + 1 = 22.

Simplifying this equation, we get: 7x + 1 = 22. We then subtraact 1 from both sides to isolate the term with x on one side: 7x = 21. Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 7: x = 3.

Therefore, the length of the first piece of steel is 3 inches. The length of the second piece is twice that, or 6 inches. The length of the third piece is four times the length of the first piece plus one inch, or 13 inches.

Slope

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to make a line perpendicular to y=2/3x+5. To do that you have to know that, if we use y=ax+b, a1*a2=-1. That is if a1 and a2 are perpendicular. So we get 2/3*a2=-1. -1/ 2/3=a2. a2=-1.5. We get y=-1.5x+b. Fill in (4,0) on y=-1.5x+b abd we get 0=-1.5(4)+b. b=6

Answer:

y = (-3/2)x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of the line y= 2/3x + 5

slope = 2/3

for two perpendicular lines

slope1*slope2 = -1

so, slope2 = (-1)*(3/2) = -3/2

hence for it to pass (4,0)

slope2=(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

-3/2 = (y - 0)/(x - 4)

cross multiplying

-3x -12 = 2y

the equation of the line is

y = (-3/2)x - 6

Rewrite equation in slope intercept form solve for y

Answers

The answer is Y= -3x + 14
Final answer:

To rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form and solve for y, we isolate y on one side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides. The resulting equation is y = -3x + 14.

Explanation:

To rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form and solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.

Given the equation 3x + y = 14, we can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to get y alone.

The equation becomes y = -3x + 14, which is now in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where the slope (m) is -3 and the y-intercept (b) is 14.

There were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and Peter wanted an easy one. There are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; Peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale.11 Peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. Some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. Peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. In a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at Peter Gudge? Why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that Peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? No one did care; no one did dream.12 It was about two o'clock of an afternoon in July, and the sun beat down upon the streets of American City. There were crowds upon the streets, and Peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. Once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." Peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the Smithers faction and the Lunk faction in the First Apostolic Church, otherwise known as the Holy Rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. Peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and Peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. But Peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this European quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. Based on the author's characterization of Peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him?Group of answer choicesindustriousloyalpatrioticpoor Richard purchased a computer for $600 in 2015.
