(2,-2)(4,10)
slope = (10 - (-2) / (4 - 2) = (10 + 2) / 2 = 12/2 = 6
The slope of the original equation is 6, but we are looking for a perpendicular line, so we need the negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. 6 or 6/1.....flip it...1/6...change the sign....-1/6. So we will need the slope of -1/6.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/6
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
1 = -1/6(2) + b
1 = -1/3 + b
1 + 1/3 = b
3/3 + 1/3 = b
4/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/6x + 4/3

Solve by any method <br> y= -7x+10<br> y= -3x+6
AnnyKZ [126]
Y=1
To get it, you use the method of substitution. So you swtich the top y by the equation of the bottom=-3x+6=-7x+10. You first add 7x to each side=4x+6=10 then you minus 6 from each side=4x=4 which is 1

The function y = -3x + 5 is transformed by reflecting it over the y axis. What is the equation of the new function? *
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x= −1/3 y+5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

y=−3x+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−3x+5=y

Step 2: Add -5 to both sides.

−3x+5+−5=y+−5

−3x=y−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

y−5

−3

x=

−1

IS THIS THE ANSWER????
andreyandreev [35.5K]
This answer is correct. The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0, and we are looking for an absolute value of 1. Both -1 and 1 are 1 whole number away from 0.
