BigorU [14]3 years ago

Answer:

y = -\frac14x + 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A linear function is written in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Each of these expressions can be converted to coordinate form, (-2,9) and (6,7).

<h2>Slope</h2>

Slope can be calculated by the difference in the x-values divided by the difference in the y-values.

Solve

  • \frac{9 - 6}{-2 - 6}
  • \frac{2}{-8}
  • -\frac14

The slope is -1/4.

<h2 /><h2>Y-intercept</h2>

The y-intercept is found by plugging in the x and y values of a coordinate and the slope and then solving for b.

Solve

  • y = mx + b
  • 9 = -\frac14(-2) + b
  • 9 = 0.5 + b
  • 8.5 = b

<h2>Equation</h2>

We can find the equation by simply plugging in all the values that we found.

Equation: y = -\frac14x + 8.5

PLEASE HELP!!! Write the equation of a line that goes through the point (6, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 4x + 1.
Tpy6a [65]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the point-slope form is given by:

y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line and (x_ {0}, y_ {0})is a point through which the line passes.

We have the following equation of the slope-intersection form:

y = 4x + 1

Where the slope is m = 4

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

Thus, a perpendicular line will have a slope:

m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {4}\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {4}

Thus, the equation will be of the form:

y-y_ {0} = - \frac {1} {4} (x-x_ {0})

Finally we substitute the given point and we have:

y-3 = - \frac {1} {4} (x-6)

Answer:

Option B

HELP. DONT ANSWER IF NOT 100% SURE. WILL GIVE BRANILEIST ASAP!
ehidna [41]

Answer:

B.

{ \tt{f(x) =  \sqrt[3]{x + 11} }}

let the inverse of f(x) be m:

{ \tt{m =  \sqrt[3]{x + 11} }} \\ { \tt{ {m}^{3}  = x + 11}} \\ { \tt{ {m}^{3}  - 11 = x}} \\ { \tt{ {f}^{ - 1}(x) =  {m}^{3}  - 11 }}

substitute for x in place of m:

{ \bf{f {}^{ - 1}(x) =  {x}^{3} - 11  }}
