Find the axis of symmetry for this parabola

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5).

neonofarm [45]

The equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5) is $y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Solution:

Given that line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9, -5)

We have to find the equation of line

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

The given equation of line is y = 3x + 6

On comparing the given equation of line y = 3x + 6 with eqn 1, we get,

m = 3

Thus the slope of given equation of line is 3

We know that product of slopes of given line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is equal to -1

Slope of given line $\times$ slope of line perpendicular to given line = -1

$3 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line }= -1$

$\text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line } = \frac{-1}{3}$

Let us now find the equation of line with slope $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and containing the point (-9, -5)

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and (x, y) = (-9, -5) in eqn 1

$-5 = \frac{-1}{3}(-9) + c\\\\-5 = 3 + c\\\\c = -8$

Thus the required equation of line is:

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and c = -8 in eqn 1

$y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Thus the required equation of line perpendicular to given line is found

Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and is

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4 it's a vertical line.

Perpendicular line to a vertical line is a horizontal line.

A horizontal line has equation y = a.

A horizontal line passes through the point (3, 5) → x = 3 and y = 5.

Therefore the equation is y = 5

Leo´s response to the bully is a response of hurt and embarrassment. He seems sad and doesn´t even directly respond to the bullies ,¨several

students were huddled around Leo's desk... he had red rings around his eyes. He looked up at Hannah and said, "Why are people so mean?"

Explanation:

if Leo had posted something mean online the outcome would only have worsened. If it were him in the bullies shoes and the bully in his, the bully wouldve understood how these mean things make people feel.
