How to make a linear equation perpendicular?

Mathematics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
4 0
The slopes of 2 perpendicular lines with be reciprocals with the opposite sign.
For example if you have the equation y=-5x+2, your slope is -5. In a line perpendicular to y=-5x+2, your slope would be 1/5. As for finding b in y=mx+b for your second equation, I would need more specific information.

Hope it helps!

If 8(x) is the inverse of f(x) and f(x) = 4x + 12 what is g(x) ?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

(y-12)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x) is the inverse of f(x)

and f(x) = 4x + 12

f⁻¹(x) = g(x)

let f(x) be represented as y

f(x) = y

y = 4x + 12

subtract 12 from both sides

y-12= 4x

divide both sides by 4

(y-12)/4 = x

so f  ⁻¹ (y)=  (y-12)/4 so g(x) =  (x-12)/4

Yesterday, Michelle's Snack Shack went through 3 3/5 bottles of ketchup. If they used 1 3/10 times as much mustard as ketchup, h
Dima020 [189]
Okay. To find the answer to this question, let's multiply both fractions together. 3 3/5 as an improper fraction is 18/5 and 1 3/10 as an improper fraction is 13/10. Multiply straight across to get the values. 18/5 * 13/10 is 234/50 or 4 17/25 in mixed number form. Michelle's Snack Shack went through 4 17/25 bottles of mustard.
