The slope of line f is -1/3. What is an equation of line that is perpendicular to line f?

Answer: 3x + y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Ley's put it into slope-intercept form (to graph easier)

3x + y = 0

y = - 3x + 0

(Since we were subtracting 3x from both sides -3x results

So now we have it in slope-intercept form.

The formula for the perpendicular line is negative reciprocal

The negative reciprocal of -1/3 is 3x, so we have the negative reciprocal slope

We will convert option three quickly before I graph

9x - 3y = 27

-3y = -9x + 27

y = 3x - 9

So we have the same slope, which is correct. But wrong y-intercept; it needs to be zero since the slope you gave has no y-intercept, so we assume 0.

Hey all you math geniuses can you help me with this question that should be easy
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(B) \frac{-3}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is the expression which consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication with any variables or constants but the division with a variable is not considered as a polynomial.

Since \frac{-3}{x} consists of division of -3 with a variable, therefore it is not a polynomial, rest all other options are polynomial as they involve addition,multiplication with variables.

Solve for x and y 9/x-4/y=8
borishaifa [10]
You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.

Solving for x:  </span><span>9/x-4/y=8       Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.

9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy         =>       9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)

                                                                        then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
                                                                                     9y
                                                            therefore x = ------------
                                                                                  4(1+2y)

Solve for y using a similar approach.

Investigate how demand elasticities are affected by increases in demand. Apply the midpoint formula to calculate the demand elas
inn [45]

It should be noted that a good that has a high demand elasticity for an economic variable implies that consumer demand for that good is more responsive to changes in the variable.

<h3>How to explain the demand?</h3>

It should be noted that an elastic demand is one werr the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is large.

Also, an inelastic demand is one in which the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is small. When the formula creates an absolute value greater than 1, the demand is elastic.

Here, a good that has a high demand elasticity for an economic variable implies that consumer demand for that good is more responsive to changes in the variable.

I need to know how to get the scale factor from a h-shaped polygon
Lesechka [4]
“To find the scale factor, we simply create a ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of two polygons. If the ratio is the same for all corresponding sides, then this is called the scale factor and the polygons are similar.”

Can somebody like tell me the answer
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Mason is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent ratios are formed when the same number is MULTIPLIED to each number in the ratior, not when the same number is added. So for example, a ratio equivalent to 2:3 would be 4:6, because 2*2=4 and 3*2=6. You multiply to create equivalent ratios, not add.

(That would be your explanation)
