Find equations for the lines through the point (a,

The line y = mx + c has a slope of m.

Parallel line:
A parallel line will also have a slope of m, and should be of the form
y = mx + k
Because the line passes through the point (a,b), therefore
ma + k = b
k = b - ma
The equation of a parallel line is
y = mx + b - ma
   = m(x-a) + b

Perpendicular line:
A perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/m, because the product of slopes should be -1.
The equation for a perpendicular line is of the form
y = -(1/m)x + k
Because the line passes through (a,b), therefore
-(1/m)a + k = b
k = b + a/m
The equation for a perpendicular line is
y = -(x/m) + b + a/m 
   = -(1/m)(x-a) + b

Answer:
Parallel line: y=m(x-a)+b
Perpendicular line: y=- \frac{1}{m}(x-a)+b

<h3>Answer:  176.6</h3>

Work Shown:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*\cos(B)\\\\b^2 = 150^2 + 30^2 - 2*150*30*\cos(150)\\\\b^2 \approx 31194.22863406\\\\b \approx \sqrt{31194.22863406}\\\\b \approx 176.618879608211\\\\b \approx 176.6\\\\

Graph the function. Give domain and range in interval form.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Domain: all real values of x

Range: all real values of y

Translation depends on the parent function

If the first function was:

y = cuberoot(x)

Then translation is:

Vertical translation 1 unit downwards
