Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

Let

A(-3,2)\ B(2,-1)

slope mAB is equal to

mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)} \\ \\ mAB=\frac{(-1-2)}{(2+3)} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5}

Step 2

<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>

Let

CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

mAB*mCD=-1\\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5} \\ mCD=-\frac{1}{mAB} \\ mCD=\frac{5}{3}

Step 3

<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>

we know that

the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)\\\\ y-0=\frac{5}{3} *(x-3)\\\\ y=\frac{5}{3} x-5

Multiply by 3 both sides

3y=5x-15

5x-3y=15

therefore

the answer is

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation 5x-3y=15

HELP PLEASE! Write a quadratic function that passes through the point (-1,9), has an axis of symmetry of x=-3 and a minimum valu
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

y = a( x - h )^{2} + k

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)

The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

y = a ( x + 3 ) ^{2} + 7

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

9 = a( (-1 ) + 3)^2 + 7\\9 = a (2)^{2} + 7\\9 = 4a + 7\\-7           -7\\2 = 4a\\\frac{1}{2} = a\\

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{2} + 7

In standard form it is;

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5
