What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-3 =-4(x+2)​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

y - 3 = (1)/(4)(x+2) or choose any line with slope 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of this line is -4. The slope of the line perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal or 1/4.

Write the equation using the slope m=1/4 and the point slope form.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\ny-3=(1)/(4)(x+2)

This is the equation of the line that is perpendicular and passes through the same point (-2,3) as the equation listed.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

y=(1)/(4) x+c   where c can be any number.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to clear for y:

y-3 =-4(x+2)\ny=-4(x+2)+3\ny=-4x-8+3\ny=-4x-5

and now we have an equation of the form:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

in this case m=-4 and b=-5

to find and equation perpendicular to this line, the following must be true:m*m_(1)=-1

where m is the slope of the original line that i just mentioned, and m_(1) is the slope of the new line. Substituting m=-4

-4*m_(1)=-1

clearing for m_(1)

m_(1)=(-1)/(-4) \nm_(1)=(1)/(4)

thus, the new perpendicular line must have the form:

y=m_(1)x+c\ny=(1)/(4)x+c

where the y-intecept c can be any number, some examples are:

y=(1)/(4)x+3\ny=(1)/(4)x-8

and so on, the important thing to be a perpendicular line is that the slopes are related to the equation m*m_(1)=-1.

An 8.5 centimeter green bean pod contains peas that average 0.45 centimeter in diameter. How many peas are in the pod?

Answers

Answer:

18 peas

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a green bean pod = 8.5 centimeters

Pod contains peas that average in diameter = 0.45 centimeters.

Now we have to calculate the number of peas contains in the pod.

Therefore, we will divide the diameter of peas to the length of the pod.

= \frac{\text{length of been pod}}{\text{Diameter of peas}}

= (8.5)/(0.45)

= 18.89 ≈ 18 peas

Therefore,A green bean pod contains 18 peas.

8.5 / 0.45 = 18.89.....and since u cant have 0.89 of a pea, ur answer would be 18 peas.

ok so the way is find the area of the triangle
find the area of the circle
area of triangle-area of circle=shaded

triangle area=(1/2)base times height
circlearea=pi(radius)^2
