Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x - 4y equals 9 + contains (-4, -5)

So perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.

Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation:

Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is

Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that its slope is -4/3.

Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:

In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
