Well, the x-intercept is at -4, that means, the graph touches the x-axis at -4, or when x = -4, what's the value of "y" when that happens?  well, if the graph touches the x-axis, the y-value has gone all the way down to 0, and thus y = 0, therefore the point at that x-intercept is ( -4, 0 )

so, what's the equation of a line that passes through (-3,2) and (-4,0)?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4+3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-2}{-1}\implies 2
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-2=2[x-(-3)]
\\\\\\
y-2=2(x+3)\implies y-2=2x+6\implies y=2x+8

Find the equation of the line through the point (-2,-2) that is perpendicular to the line y=2x-1
Lerok [7]

A line perpendicular to y = 2x - 1 must have the slope -1/2 (negative reciprocal of 2).


Thus, the eq'n of the new line is y+2 = (-1/2)(x+2).

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y - 1= -x that passes through the
Goryan [66]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly you separate y

y=-x-1

which means that the slope is equal to -1

then you flip the slope so -1 over -1 which is equal 1

What does 3x/4 equal?
tester [92]

Answer:

\frac{3x}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Nothing can be done with the equation because there is no quotient.  </em>

If there was, would be able to solve for x.
