Answer:

A) y = –3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

first off, a negative equation means the graph is downward sloping from left to right –> \. So with this in mind you can immediately eliminate C and D because they are upward sloping graphs. B also doesn't work because it doesn't go through (3,–1). This leaves A as the right answer

the constant number is the number on the y-axis. So, for –3x+2, +2 is the y-coordinate on the y-axis. the slope is -3x meaning down 3, right 1. –3x+8 is the only answer that is perpendicular.

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 5y=x−5 through the point (-1,0).
Artemon [7]

Hey there!

First, we want to put the equation of this first line in slope-intercept form.

5y=x-5

We divide both sides by 5.

y=1/5x-1.

The slope of a perpendicular is line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with the equation y=1/2x would be -2, because you flip the numerator and denominator and then make it negative.

So, this means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=1/5x-1 is -5. So, here's our equation so far.

y= -5x+b

Now, we need to find the b. To do this, we can plug in this point (-1,0) that this perpendicular line goes through and solve for b.

0=-5(-1)+b

0=5+b

b= -5

So, this gives us the equation y= -5x-5

Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

(1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x+1

y = 2x+3

Set the two equations equal

4x+1 = 2x+3

Subtract 2x from each side

4x+1-2x = 2x+3-2x

2x+1 = 3

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1 =3-1

2x=2

Divide by 2

2x/2 =2/2

x =1

Now find y

y =4x+1 = 4(1)+1 =4+1=5
