What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -3/7x + 1 (Answer as an improper fraction and not a mixed number or decimal)

1 answer:

7 0

For lines to be perpendicular they would need to have opposite slopes, so for a slope of -3/7 the slope of a perpendicular line would be 7/3

Evaluate tan ( cos^-1 ( 1/8 ) ) , giving your answer as an exact value (no decimals)

vekshin1

$\bf cos^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{8} \right)=\theta \qquad \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{8}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{8^2-1^1}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{63}=b ~\hfill tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{\pm\sqrt{63}}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{34em}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{keeping in mind that}}{tan\left(cos^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{8} \right) \right)}\implies tan(\theta )$

Solve the system by the elimination method.<br><br> 2a + 3b = 6<br> 5a + 2b - 4 = 0

mariarad [96]

2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0

b = 2, a = 0
