We have a line y = 1/3x -6

We want a line that is perpendicular to this line

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

1/3 * m = -1

3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3

m = -3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -3

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x+b

We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)

Substitute this point into the equation

-23 = -3(7)+b

-23 = -21+b

Add 21 to each side

-23+21 = -21+21+b

-2 = b

y = -3x-2

In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is

y = -3x-2

Simplify the variable expression by evaluating it's numerical part m-13+42-6
goldfiish [28.3K]

ANSWER

m + 23

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

m - 13 + 42 - 6

We regroup the numerical parts to get;

m + 42 - 6 - 13

Now let us simplify the negative numbers.

m + 42 - 19

We now subtract 19 from 42 to get;

m + 23

We can't simplify further

Hence the simplest form is:

m + 23

Which points are on the graph of g(x) = (1/5)^x
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A) The point( -1 , 5)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

B) The point( 3 , 1/125)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given graph  

               y =      g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

Put the point ( -1 , 5)

Put y =5 and x =-1

            5 = (\frac{1}{5} )^{-1} = 5

The point( -1 , 5)  is satisfies the  given graph

ii)

Given graph  

               y =      g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

             \frac{1}{125}  = (\frac{1}{5} )^{3} = \frac{1}{125}

The point( 3 , 1/125)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}
