Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
When a line is perpendicular to another line, its slope is the negative reciprocal to that slope.
From this information, we already know that the slope of our new line is -1/2, because -1/2 is the negative reciprocal to 2 (which is the slope of the original line).
y = -1/2x + b
Because the point (-5,3) is given, we can simply plug the x and y coordinates into our incomplete equation.
3 = -1/2(-5) + b
3=2.5 + b
b = 0.5
ANSWER: y = -1/2x + 0.5
THE GRAPH IS LINKED; RED LINE IS y=2x-3 AND BLUE LINE IS y=-1/2x + 0.5
Answer:
7.79
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-6, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinate is at (2, -1), when using a dilation with a scale factor of 3, multiply the coordinates by 3.
(2, -1) ------> (2 x 3, -1 x 3) ----------> (6, -3)
When reflecting the point over the y-axis, take the opposite of the x coordinate.
(6, -3) ------> (-6, -3)
