Question 880862: 2 1/2 �$15
Click here to see answer by ewatrrr(24785)

Question 880823: Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to �7x + 3y = 14 and contains P(�1, �9).
First find the slope of the given equation
-7x + 3y = 14
add 7x on both sides of the equation
3y = 7x+14
Divide everything by 3
3y/3 =7x/3 + 14/3
y =7x/3 + 14/3
Remember y = mx + b where m =slope and (0,b) is the y intercept
Therefore the slope of this equation is 7/3
In order to have an equation that is perpendicular the slope must be the opposite reciprocal therefore the slope of the perpendicular equation is -3/7
Now using the perpendicular slope and points given solve the equation y = mx +B
for b by plugging in the x, y and slope.
y = mx + b
-9 = (-3/7)(-1) + b
-9 = 3/7 + b
subtract 3/7 on both sides
-9 -(3/7) = b
b = 66/7
Now plugging in our perpendicular slope and b into the y = mx + b the equation of the perpendicular line is formed
y = (-3/7)x - 66/7

X+Y+Z=3
X^2+Y^2+Z^2=9
XYZ=-2
Firstly it follows from the first 2 equalities that:
XY+YZ+ZX= A
Next using:
(X^2+Y^2+Z^2)^2=X^4+Y^4+Z^4+B ( (xy)^2+(yz)^2+(zx)^2 )
we have:
