Answer: Altoona.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that in that day it snowed $3\ \frac{3}{8}\ inches$ in Altoona.

Given this measurement as a mixed number, you need to convert it to a decimal number. Then:

$3\ \frac{3}{8}\ inches=(3+ \frac{3}{8})\ inches=(3+0.375)\ inches=3.375\ inches$

It that day it snowed $3.45\ inches$ in Bethlehem.

Then, you can notice that:

$3.375\ inches$

Therefore, you can conclude that the city that received less snow that day was: Altoona.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 2 ) (6,−2) and is perpendicular to the line 6 x + y = 2 6x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

An equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given the line

6x+y=2

Simplifying the equation to write into the slope-intercept form

y = -6x+2

So, the slope = -6

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be: -1/-6 = 1/6

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting the values m = 1/6 and the point (6, -2)

$y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

$y+2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

subtract 2 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)-2$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

If the graph of the function f defined by f(x)= −2x^2+1 is translated vertically downward by 3 units, it becomes the graph of a

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

h(x) = -2x^2 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that translating the point (a, b) vertically downward by 3 units will make it be the point (a, b-3).

The same translation works on the point (x, f(x)), or when a=x and b=f(x). Translated downward by 3 units, the point becomes ...

(x, f(x) -3)

You want to name this (x, h(x)), so we have ...

h(x) = f(x) -3

h(x) = -2x^2 +1 -3 . . . substitute the expression for f(x)

h(x) = -2x^2 -2 . . . . . simplify
