Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (2,-2) and is perpendicular to x + 5y =6

1 answer:

3 0

X + 5y = 6
5y = -x + 6
y = -1/5x + 6/5....the slope here is -1/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the original slope and change the sign. So we flip -1/5 and make is -5/1....and we change the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 5(2) + b
-2 = 10 + b
-2 - 10 = b
-12 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 5x - 12 <=

Which of the following is an example of the difference of two squares

True [87]

Complete Question: Which of the following is an example of the difference of two squares?

A x² − 9

B x³ − 9

C (x + 9)²

D (x − 9)²

Answer:

A. $x^2 - 9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to spot an expression that is a difference of two squares is to note that the first term and the second term in the expression are both perfect squares. Both terms usually have the negative sign between them.

Thus, difference of two squares takes the following form: $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$ .

a² and b² are perfect squares. Expanding $(a + b)(a - b)$ will give us $a^2 - b^2$ .

Therefore, an example of the difference of two squares, from the given options, is $x^2 - 9$ .

$x^2 - 9$ can be factorised as $x^2 - 3^2 = (x + 3)(x - 3)$ .
