On a coordinate plane, line M N goes through (negative 4, 0) and (4, 2). Point P is at (2, negative 4). Which point on the x-axis lies on the line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to line MN? (0, 1) (0, 4) (1, 0) (4, 0)

C, (1,0)

Explanation:

A perpendicular line is when 2 lines cross each other with right angles, which are 90⁰ angles. Two lines are only perpendicular when the lines slopes are negative reciprocals to each other.

To find the slope of the first graph use, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

This is, 2-0/4+4

2/8

1/4 is the slope for the first line.

The negative reciprocal of this is -4.

We are also looking for a point on the x axis, so this eliminates answer choice A, and B, because they aren't even on the x axis.

When you test out answer choice c it will show that,

-4-0/2-1=-4/1 which is just -4.

These points on line p will pass each other when you add +4, y=-4x+4. So because of both of these lines negative reciprocating slopes, it shows that it will be answer C.

is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. it includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets.

agriculture provides most of the world’s food and fabrics. cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products. agriculture also provides wood for construction and paper products.

these products, as well as the agricultural methods used, may vary from one part of the world to another.
