Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 9x−4y=−5 that passes through the point (−9,3).

4x + 9y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

9x - 4y = - 5 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 4y = - 9x - 5 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y = x + ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - = - , then

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 9, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1

y = - x - 1 ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fraction )

9y = - 4x - 9 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 9y = - 9 ← equation in standard form

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
