Consider the line y=-3x+3.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

y= 3x+17; y= -\frac13x +\frac{11}3

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem. If you want a parallel to a given line, you keep the slope.

Then we use the point-slope form of a line

y-y_0=m(x-x_0) and we plug in there everything we need.

y-5=3(x+4) \rightarrow y=3x+12+5\\y=3x+17

The second is quite similar. This time we want the perpendicular. It means that the product of the slopes has to be -1.

3\cdot m = -1 \rightarrow m=-\frac13

At this point we have everything, let's replace and write down the line in a better looking form

y-5=-\frac13(x+4) \rightarrow y= -\frac13 x -\frac43 +5\\y= -\frac13x -\frac43 +\frac{15}3 \rightarrow y= -\frac13x +\frac{11}3

The area of a triangle is 16 square units. The base of the triangle is x+4. The height of the triangle is x. Find x.
OLga [1]
The area of triangle formula is A = B*H  / 2
so it means 16 square = (<span>x+4) x /2
so x²+4x -32=0, D' = 2²- (-32)= 36, sqrt of D' = 6
so x = -2 -6 = -8 or x= -2 +6 = 4
x must be positive so x = 4</span>
