Answer:

2x + y - 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x - 2y + 4 = 0 ( subtract x + 4 from both sides )

- 2y = - x - 4 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }$ = - 2 , thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (1, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 1 + 2 = 1

y = - 2x + 1 ← in slope intercept form

Subtract - 2x + 1 from both sides

2x + y - 1 = 0 ← in general form

Help What is the graph???

marin [14]

We are given

$y=\frac{x^2-4x+3}{x^2-9}$

Vertical asymptotes:

Firstly, we will factor numerator and denominator

we get

$y=\frac{(x-1)(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+3)}$

We can see that (x-3) is common in both numerator and denominator

so, we will only set x+3 to 0

and then we can find vertical asymptote

$x+3=0$

$x=-3$

Hole:

We can see that (x-3) is common in both numerator and denominator

so, hole will be at x-3=0

$x=3$

Horizontal asymptote:

We can see that degree of numerator is 2

degree of denominator is also 2

for finding horizontal asymptote, we find ratio of leading coefficients of numerator and denominator

and we get

y=1

now, we can draw graph

1 unit by 2 units by<br> units

Julli [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 unit by 2 unit means area.

So, know that in area you multiply length times width, you multiply 2 and 1.

$1$ · $2$

A juice drink filling machine, when in perfect adjustment, fills the bottles with 12 ounces of drink on an average. Any overfill

ozzi

Answer:

d. The average is equal to 12 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the drink filling machine must be perfectly calibrated at 12 ounces since it needs to be shut down in cases of overfilling (mean > 12 ounces) and underfilling (mean < 12 ounces). Therefore, the correct approach would be to test if the mean is 12 ounces and the correct set of hypothesis would be:

$H_0:\mu=12\\H_a:\mu\neq 12$

The correct alternative is d. The average is equal to 12 ounces.
