A = (-7,-6)
B = (8,-9)
Find the slope of line AB
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-9-(-6))/(8-(-7))
m = (-9+6)/(8+7)
m = -3/15
m = -1/5
The slope of line AB is -1/5.
Flip the fraction and the sign to go from -1/5 to +5/1 = 5. The perpendicular slope is 5.
Let m = 5.
Use the coordinates of point C (2,12) along with the perpendicular slope to get
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 12 = 5(x - 2)
y - 12 = 5x - 10
y = 5x - 10+12
y = 5x + 2
Lastly, convert this to standard form
y = 5x + 2
5x+2 = y
5x+2-y = 0
5x-y = -2
Choice A is the closest match, but the -56 should be -2 instead. It seems like your teacher made a typo somewhere.
Answer:
4.09m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A countertop is 11 feet long and 4 fee t wide.
Using the conversion
1foot = 0.305 meter
11fet = 11(0.305)
11feet = 3.355 m
4 feet= 4 * 0.305
4feet = 1.22m
Area of the countertop = Length * Width
Area of the countertop = 3.355 * 1.22
Area of the countertop = 4.0931m^2
Hence the required area is 4.09m^2 to 2 decimal places
Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
9^2 * 27^3 = 3^x
We need to get each term with a base of 3
9^2 = (3^2) ^2
We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)
(3^2) ^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4
27^3 = (3^3) ^3 = 3^(3*3) = 3^9
Replacing these in the original equation
3^4 * 3^9 = 3^x
We know that a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)
3^4 * 3^9 =3^(4+9) = 3^13 = 3^x
The bases are the same, so the exponents must be the same
x=13

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Function modeling</u>
Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.
The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is
We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is
This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as
Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100
There are 12 inches in a foot. When you convert 12 into millimeters, it becomes 304.8.
