We know the slope of this line is 1/3x, which means the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is -3x

A slope that is perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the other.

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1/3x - 5 is y = -3x - 5

Reflect the given triangle over the line y=x. [3 6 3 -3 3 3]

iragen [17]

If reflected over y = x

then use

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\1&0\end{array}\right]$

=====================

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\-3&3&3\end{array}\right]$

similar as (x, y) → (y, x)

multiply the matrixes to get the final answer

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(3*0+1*-3)&(6*0+1*3)&(3*0+1*3)\\(3*1+(-3*0)&(1*6+0*3)&(1*3+0*3)\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&3&3\\3&6&3\end{array}\right]$

How do I do this math question?

Lynna [10]

Answer: You just need to draw a line

Step-by-step explanation: Place a dot on positive 2 on the y-axis, then go down 7 and 1 to the right. If it doesn’t go all the way down, make your own point to make it seem like it will land where it has to be and connect it to the positive 2. It has to be a straight line
