What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to 6x + 3y = –9?

2 answers:

4 0

6x + 3y = -9
3y = -6x - 9
y = -2x - 4.5

slope (m1) of this line is -2

slope of the perpendicular line,
m2 = - (1/m1)
m2 = - (1 / -2)
m2 = 1/2

6 x + 3 y = -9
3 y = - 6 x - 9 / : 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 2 x - 3
m 1 = -2
Slope of the perpendicular line:
m 2 = - 1 / ( - 2 )
m 2 = 0.5

What type of transformation transforms (a,b) to (-a,b) ?

aleksklad [387]

It's a reflection over the y axis because 'a' represents 'x' and if 'a' is negative it flips to the other side leave 'b/y' to remain the same

Answer:

x = 4.45 or x = - 4.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps:

Substitute the values,

$4+\sqrt{-4^2-4(1*-2)}$ ÷ 2 × 1

x = 2 ± √6

x = 4.45 or x = - 4.45
