Answer:

  3x +5y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a perpendicular line through a given point can be obtained by swapping the x- and y-coefficients of the original line's equation, and negating one of them. The constant in the equation needs to be chosen so the equation will be true at the given point.

<h3>Form of perpendicular line</h3>

Swapping the coefficients of the given equation, we have ...

  3x -5y = c . . . . . for some constant c

Negating the y-coefficient gives a perpendicular line:

  3x +5y = c

<h3>Particular solution</h3>

We want the equation to be true for (x, y) = (-4, 5), so the constant needs to be ...

  3x +5y = 3(-4) +5(5) = -12 +25 = 13

The equation of the perpendicular line is ...

  3x +5y = 13

<em>Additional comment</em>

This process works for equations given in any form. If you start with point-slope form or slope-intercept form, some manipulation of the result may be required to get to the form you want. Standard-form or general-form equations are the easiest to apply this method to.

Note that equations in <em>standard form</em> want to have a positive leading coefficient. That is why we chose to change the sign of the y-coefficient, rather than the x-coefficient.

The equation of the line containing (- 4,5) and perpendicular to the line 5x - 3y = 4 is y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation passes through (-4, 5) and perpendicular to 5x - 3y = 4

Hence,

perpendicular lines follows the rule below:

m₁m₂ = -1

Hence,

5x - 3y = 4

5x - 4 = 3y

y = 5/ 3 x - 4 / 3

m₁ = 5 / 3

5/3 m₂ = -1

m₂ = - 3 / 5

Hence,

using (-4, 5)

5 = - 3 / 5 (-4) + b

5 = 12 / 5 + b

b = 5 - 12 / 5 = 25 - 12 /5 = 13 / 5

Therefore,

y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

what do you think, when you look at the examples given in the problem definition ?

don't you see the pattern, that f(x) = x+2 ?

f(1) = 1+2 = 3

f(2) = 2+2 = 4

f(3) = 3+2 = 5

so, if we follow this assumption, then

f(-10) = -10 + 2 = -8

Given that f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=-5x+2 slice for f(g(x)) when x=3?
mezya [45]

Answer:

x = -25.

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = 2x + 1, and g(x) = -5x + 2, then f(g(x)) = 2(-5x + 2) + 1 = -10x + 4 + 1 = -10x + 5.

f(g(x)) = -10x + 5, and x = 3.

-10 * 3 + 5

= -30 + 5

= -25.

Hope this helps!
