Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+\dfrac{19}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===================================\\\\\text{We have the equation i the standard form.}\\\text{ Convert it to the slope-intercept form}\ y=mx+b:\\\\5x+9y=-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\9y=-5x-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{5}{9}x-1\to m_1=-\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{5}{9}}=\dfrac{9}{5}$

$\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:}\\\\1=\dfrac{5}{9}(-2)+b\\\\1=-\dfrac{10}{9}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{5}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{19}{9}=b\to b=\dfrac{19}{9}$

The roots of the equation x^2+bx+c=0 are −4 and 2. Find b and Find c

ra1l [238]

Since its roots are -4 and 2 and a = 1 [The coefficient of x^2] we know that x^2 + bx + c = (x - (-4)) (x-2)=(x+4)(x-2) = 0. Using the distributive property we get, x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0. By equating coefficients (common strategy for partial fractions and undetermined coefficient method of solving ODE), we get b = 2 and c = -8.

Hope this helps :) If you spot a mistake in my work or have a question comment down below.
