What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 1/2x + 6 that passes through the point (4,-3)

Mathematics

Finger [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=1/2x + 6 is 1/2. The slope perpendicular to it is -2.

Using m=-2, substitute it and (4,-3) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y--3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2x+8\\y=-2x+5

The equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx+b and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of y=-2x+5 is (0,5).

37. Let f(x) = 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x + 1. Find g(f(x))
ankoles [38]

Answer:

6x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

so g(f(x)) means wherever in g(x), you see x, you replace it with f(x)

g(x) = 3x+1

g(f(x)) = 3(2x-4)+1

= 6x-12+1

= 6x-11

Select the equation in which the graph of the line has a positive slope, and the y-intercept equals -5. 10x – 5y = 40 5x – 10y =
Burka [1]
The equation x-2y=10 fits the requirements. 
To figure this out, I put them all in point-slope intercept form: y=mx+b
x-2y=10
-x      -x
-2y=-x+10
---------------
-2       -2
y=x/2-5
x/2: positive!
-5: correct y-interecpt!
