Which equation describes a line perpendicular to the line described by? y=3x-5

1 answer:

Nat2105 [25]2 years ago

A line perpendicular means that the slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope given. Since m=3 in the given equation, the slope in the perpendicular line has to be m = -1/3. The y-intercept can be any number.

So a line perpendicular would be y = -1/3x + b

Since you can plug anything into b, you can get many different answers. For example, y = -1/3x + 7 or y = -1/3x - 2

The function f(x) = { x + 1 is used to complete this Which statements are true of the given function? Check all that apply. tabl

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Options (1) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression that defines the function is,

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}$

Option 1

$f(-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{1}{2})+\frac{3}{2}$

$=-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}$

$=-\frac{1}{4}+1+\frac{1}{2}$

$=1+\frac{1}{4}$

$=1\frac{1}{4}$

So, $f(-\frac{1}{2} )=-2$ is false.

Option 2

f(0) = $\frac{1}{2}(0)+\frac{3}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

True.

Option 3

f(1) = $\frac{1}{2}(1)+\frac{3}{2}$

= $\frac{3+1}{2}$

= 2

Therefore, f(1) = -1 is false.

Option 4

$f(2)=\frac{1}{2}(2)+\frac{3}{2}$

$=1+1+\frac{1}{2}$

$=2\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, f(2) = 1 is false.

Option 5

f(4) $=\frac{1}{2}(4)+\frac{3}{2}$

$=2+\frac{3}{2}$

$=\frac{4+3}{2}$

$=\frac{7}{2}$

True.

Options (1) and (5) are the correct options.

Which equation has the same graph as 4x + 8y = 12?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$4x + 8y = 12 \\ 4(x + 2y) = 12 \\ \frac{4(x + 2y)}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \\ x + 2y = 3$
