Can you help with this?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

2l+8=28 a+2l=28

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

l=10 a+10=28 a=18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright I got that. What about this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hmm i dont know @campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so find the slope of BC the altitude is perpendicular to to BC you need to find the slope of the altitude... and the line passes through A so you have a point and a slope... so you can find the equation.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 can you stop giving answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay A.. haha I knew that O_O thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait... its supposed to be in standard form not slope int form

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it still correct?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well the slope of BC is correct... what is the slope of the perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is the perpendicular?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so if you know the slope of BC, the slope of the line perpendicular to BC is the negative reciprocal...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So postive 4/3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But since it needs to be in standard form it would be B?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

close its positive, but what is the negtative reciprocal of- 4/3 its

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. Uh 3/4

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and B is the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have another question with points, do you have time for that?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

just post it and there are lots of good people who can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay no problem :) thanks

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

oops post it as a new question, that way people will see it.... posting it on this question, normally people won't scoll this far down.
