To make an line perpendicular to another, you must take the slope of the first line and find its negative inverse to put in the second.
3y=x-6 --> y=(x-6)/3 --> y=1/3x-2
The slope of the first line is 1/3 so the slope of the second line will be -3.
Now you must use the point slope formula to find the actual equation of the second line.
y-y1=m(x-x1) --> y-(-7)=-3(x-4) --> y+7=-3x+12 --> y=-3x+5
Now you need to translate that to function notation, which is pretty easy. Simply remember f(x) = y. So...
f(x)=-3x+5, and that's your answer.

What is N in -2n+2(3n+14)=-20

seraphim [82]

Answer:

To solve for n you need to get it by itself

First you want to distribute your 2 through the (3n+14)

-2n+6n+28=-20 (2*3n+2*14= 6n+28)

Now you want to combine any like terms if possible

4n+28=-20 (-2n+6n=4n, both like terms)

Then you want to subtract -28 from both sides

4n=-48 (28-28=0, -20-28=-48)

Lastly you want to divide both sides by 4

n=-12 (4n/4=n, -48/4= -12)
