Answer:

y+3x+23=0

Step-by-step explanation:

From y = x/3 + 6 comparing with general equation of a line, y = mx +c

m1 = 1/3

Perpendicularity rule states that m1m2 = -1

m2 = -1/1/3 = -1 * 3/1 = -3

The equation is

y-y1 = m2(x-x1)

y-(-2) = -3(x-(-7))

y+2 = -3(x+7)

y+2 = -3x-21

y = -3x-21-2

y= -3x-23

y+3x = -23

y+3x+23=0

What is the equation of the line????????

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations come in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph we know that the y-intercept is (0,2), so that rules out options B and C.

To find the gradient is a little more tricky, but we can follow the formula:

$\frac{rise}{run}$ , where rise is the vertical value and run is the horizontal value

So we sub in our values:

$\frac{2}{4}$

And simplify:

$\frac{1}{2}$

So now we sub in our new found values into y=mx+c:

y=1/2x+2

What is the inverse and restricted domain of the equation 8x^2-3

kari74 [83]

Answer: $\bold{y=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{2(x+3)}}{4},\qquad x\neq -3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8x² - 3 (Restriction: none - x is All Real Numbers)

The inverse is when you swap the x's and y's and then solve for y

x = 8y² - 3 swapped the x and y

x + 3 = 8y² added 3 to both sides

$\dfrac{x+3}{8}=y^2$ divided both sides by 8

$\sqrt{\dfrac{x+3}{8}}=\sqrt{y^2}$ square rooted both sides

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{x+3}{8}}=y$ simplified

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{x+3}{8}\bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)}=y$ rationalized the denominator

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{2(x+3)}{16}}=y$ simplified

$\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{2(x+3)}}{4}=y$ simplified

Restriction:

The radical (inside the square root sign) cannot be negative

→ 2(x + 3) ≥ 0

x + 3 ≥ 0 divided both sides by 2

x ≥ -3 subtracted 3 from both sides

Tan x/sec^2 x + tan x/csc^2 x

Arada [10]

I guess you're supposed to simplify?

$\dfrac{\tan x}{\sec^2x}+\dfrac{\tan x}{\csc^2x}$

$=\tan x\left(\dfrac1{\sec^2x}+\dfrac1{\csc^2x}\right)$

$=\tan x(\cos^2x+\sin^2x)$

$=\tan x$
