Consider the line y= −2/9x-7. Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point , (2, 3) Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point , (2,3).

Answers

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

[tex]y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{9}} x-7\qquad \impliedby \qquad \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}[/tex]

so then we can say that

[tex]\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{2}{9}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{9}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\left( -\cfrac{9}{2} \right)\implies \cfrac{9}{2}}}[/tex]

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whos slope is 9/2 and passes through (2 , 3)

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{9}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{9}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-3=\cfrac{9}{2}x-9\implies \boxed{y=\cfrac{9}{2}x-6}[/tex]

now as far as the parallel line

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -2/9 and passes through (2 , 3)

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{2}{9} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{9}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-3=-\cfrac{2}{9}x+\cfrac{4}{9}\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{9}x+\cfrac{4}{9}+3\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{2}{9}x+\cfrac{31}{9}}[/tex]

An angle measures 126° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Solution:

We know that:

A pair of supplementary angles always sum up to 180°

This means that:

[tex]x + x + 126 = 180[/tex]

Step-by step calculations:

Combine like terms and simplify:

[tex]x + x + 126 = 180[/tex]=> [tex](x + x) + 126 = 180[/tex]=> [tex]2x + 126 = 180[/tex]

Subtract 126 both sides:

=> [tex]2x + 126 - 126 = 180 - 126[/tex]=> [tex]2x = 54[/tex]

Divide 2 both sides:

=> [tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{54}{2}[/tex]=> [tex]x = 27[/tex]

This means that one angle is 27°. Let's find the other angle.

Finding the other angle:

[tex]27 + 126 = Other \space\ angle[/tex]=> [tex]153 \space\ = Other \space\ angle[/tex]

Thus, the measure of the angles are 27° and 153°.

Answer:

27° and 153°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "x" represent the angle.

We know that supplementary angles must add up to 180 degrees.

First, let's set up an expression for the supplement of the angle "x":

x+126

Now, let's use this information to set up an equation:

[tex]x+x+126=180[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]2x+126=180[/tex]

Subtract 126 from both sides:

[tex]2x=54[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x=27[/tex]

The supplement would be:

[tex]x+126=27+126=153[/tex]

Therefore the measures of the two angles are:

27° and 153°

A motor boat traveling with the current went 30mi in 3 h. Against the current, it took 5 h to travel the same distance. Find the rate of the boat in calm water and the rate of the current

Answers

Answer:

Speed of the boat is 9.4mph and the current is 15.4mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate= distance/ time

With current; rate= boat+ current= b+c

Against current; rate= boat - current = b- c

30=3(b+c)••••••••••••••eqn(1)

30=5(b-c)•••••••••••••••••eqn(2)

30=3b +3c••••••••••••••eqn(3)

30=5b-5c•••••••••••••••eqn(4)

Solve simultaneously

b=12mph

From eqn(3)

30=3b +3c

Divide both sides by 3, we have

10= b+c

If we make "b" the subject of the formula we have

b= (10-c)••••••••eqn(5)

Divide both side of eqn(4) by 5 we have

6=b-c••••••••eqn(7)

Substitute eqn(5) into 7

6= (10-c)-c

6= 10c-c^2

C^2-10c+6

C= 9.4 or 0.64

Substitute the highest value 9.4 into equation 7

6=b-9.4

b=6+9.4

b= 15.4

Speed of the boat is 9.4mph and the current is 15.4mph

We round 38.42965 to the nearest penny:

Given that an airline is trying to promote its new Boston to Atlanta flight.

the usual price for this flight is $315.00.

The discount offered by airlines is 40%.

We need to find the cost of the flight after the discount.

Convert 40% to decimal by dividing with 100.

40/100=0.4

Now multiply 0.4 with 315

0.4×315

For a field trip, a bus company charges a flat fee plus an additional fee per student. For
40 students, the total cost is $170.00. If there are 45 students, the total cost is
$182.50. Write an equation that represents the total cost y of the field trip for x
students. What would the total cost be if 80 students went on the field trip?

Answers

Answer: here

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer comes from the derivation of a straight line model for the cost vs students. Note that the change in cost of 145-135.50 = 9.50 for an increase of students from 25 to 30. The ratio of change of cost to change of students = 9.50/5 = 1.9 and becomes the slope coefficient "m" in the formula y= mx + b. y = the total cost, mx becomes the variable cost and b becomes the fixed cost. To find b, use the data point given where the total cost = $135.50 when the students = 25, or 135.50 = 1.9*25 +b. Solving for b yields $ 88. Note that the other data point is where the total cost is $145 for students = 30. Using the new total cost equation shows that 30*1.9+88= 145 thus verifying the math model works for the data points provided.

An equation is
Solve the equation.

Answers

The unknown number is x .

An equation to find the value of x :-

[tex]x + 5 = - 4[/tex]

Let us solve this equation :-

[tex]x + 5 = - 4[/tex]

[tex]x = - 4 - 5[/tex]

[tex]x = - 9[/tex]

The value of x is -9 . Let us place -9 in the place of x , to check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x .

So :-

[tex] - 9 + 5 = - 4[/tex]

[tex] - 4 = - 4[/tex]

[tex]LHS = RHS [/tex]

As the left hand side of the equation is equivalent to the right hand side of the equation, we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x .

Therefore , -9 + 5 = -4 and ( x = -9 ) .

5+x=-4 is equation of sentence 5 more than a number x is -4 and -9 is the solution of equation.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The given sentence is 5 more than a number x is -4.

Whenever there is a more than in a sentence means added with some number.

Let us consider the number be x.

5 more than a number x is -4 means 5 is added to number x which gives -4.

5+x=-4

This is the equation for the sentence.

Now let us solve the equation.

5+x=-4

Subtract 5 from both sides

x=-4-5

x=-9

Hence, 5+x=-4 is equation of sentence 5 more than a number x is -4 and -9 is the solution of equation.

An angle measures 44° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the
measure of each angle?

Answers

Answer:

The angle is 112 degrees and the supplement is 68 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle’s measure be represented by x and the supplement’s measure be represented by y. Since supplementary angles add to 180 degrees, x + y = 180.

Since the supplement is 44 degrees less than the angle,

y + 44 = x

We can substitute y + 44 = x for x in the first equation, since they are equivalent.

y + 44 + y = 180

2y + 44 = 180

2y = 136

y = 68

Substitute 68 for y in one of the original equations and solve.

68 + 44 = x

x = 112

The sum of two numbers is 30
and their quotient is 2

What are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are 20 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say these teo numbers are x and y.

The sum of two numbers is 30

x + y = 30
Isolate y
y = 30 - x

Their quotient is 2
plug the newfound y value in the second equation.

x / y = 2

[tex]\frac{x}{30-x} = 2[/tex]

multiply both sides by (30 - x) to get rid of the fraction.

x = 2(30 - x)

x = 60 - 2x

x + 2x = 60 + 2x

3x = 60

dividie both sides by 3

x = 20

find y

y = 30 - x

y = 30 - 20 = 10
y = 10

The numbers are 20 and 10.

Answer:

10 and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 30

x/y = 2

x = 2y so substituting in the first equation:

2y + y = 30

y = 10

and  x + y =30

so x + 10 = 30  giving x = 20.
