Answer:

y = -3x -9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 1/3

perpendicular slope = -3

y = mx + b

0 = -3(-3) + b

-9 = b

y = -3x -9

Answer:

y = -3x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 6y = 12

Solving for y we get

-6y = -2x+12

y = 1/3x -2

The slope is 1/3

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 1/3 = -1

Multiply each side by 3

m * 1/3 * 3 = -1 *3

m = -3

The perpendicular line has a slope of -3

Using the slope intercept form

y = mx+b

y = -3x +b

And the point (-3,0) is substituted into the equation

0 = -3(-3) +b

0 = 9+b

B = -9

y = -3x-9

My linear expression y= 5x -3 What is an equivalent to this problem and is it equal

azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x - 3 <em>it's a slope-intercept form</em>

<em />

y = 5x - 3 <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>

-5x + y = -3 <em>change the signs</em>

5x - y = 3 <em>it's a standard form</em>

<em />

5x - y = 3 <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

5x - y - 3 = 0 <em>it's a general form</em>

Answer:

$Center = \boxed{1}, \: \boxed{ - 2} \: ; \: Radius = \boxed{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 2x + 4y - 4 = 0 \\ \\ ({x}^{2} - 2x + 1 - 1) + ( {y}^{2} + 4y + 4 - 4) - 4 = 0 \\ \\ ( {x}^{2} - 2x + 1) + ( {y}^{2} + 4y + 4) - 9 = 0 \\ \\ {(x - 1)}^{2} + {(y + 2)}^{2} = 9 \\ \\ {(x - 1)}^{2} + {(y + 2)}^{2} = {3}^{2} \\ \\ equating \: it \: with \\ \\ {(x - h)}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2} \\ \\ h = 1 \\ k = - 2 \\ r = 3 \\ \\ center = \boxed{1} \: \boxed{ - 2} \: \: radius = \boxed{3}$
