(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

At the beginning of a snowstorm, Grayson had 10 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 0.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

  • Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
  • the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
  • no snow was melting
  • the snow has fallen for 3 hours  

Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn

Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10

3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches

Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours

Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t

y = 0.5*t + 10

we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)

the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5

t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours

Just like a function :

  • 0.5 is the slope
  • t is the variable
  • 10 is the y-intercept

How to do the inverse of a 3x3 matrix gaussian elimination.
nata0808 [166]

As an example, let's invert the matrix

\begin{bmatrix}-3&2&1\\2&1&1\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}

We construct the augmented matrix,

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]

On this augmented matrix, we perform row operations in such a way as to transform the matrix on the left side into the identity matrix, and the matrix on the right will be the inverse that we want to find.

Now we can carry out Gaussian elimination.

• Eliminate the column 1 entry in row 2.

Combine 2 times row 1 with 3 times row 2 :

2 (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + 3 (2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0)

= (-6, 4, 2, 2, 0, 0) + (6, 3, 3, 0, 3, 0)

= (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0)

which changes the augmented matrix to

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 1 entry in row 3.

Using the new aug. matrix, combine row 1 and 3 times row 3 :

(-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + 3 (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1)

= (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + (3, 3, 3, 0, 0, 3)

= (0, 5, 4, 1, 0, 3)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 & 4 & 1 & 0 & 3 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 2 entry in row 3.

Combine -5 times row 2 and 7 times row 3 :

-5 (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) + 7 (0, 5, 4, 1, 0, 3)

= (0, -35, -25, -10, -15, 0) + (0, 35, 28, 7, 0, 21)

= (0, 0, 3, -3, -15, 21)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & -3 & -15 & 21 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 3 entry in row 2.

Combine row 2 and -5 times row 3 :

(0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) - 5 (0, 0, 1, -1, -5, 7)

= (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) + (0, 0, -5, 5, 25, -35)

= (0, 7, 0, 7, 28, -35)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 0 & 7 & 28 & -35 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 2 by 1/7 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 2 and 3 entries in row 1.

Combine row 1, -2 times row 2, and -1 times row 3 :

(-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) - 2 (0, 1, 0, 1, 4, -5) - (0, 0, 1, -1, -5, 7)

= (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + (0, -2, 0, -2, -8, 10) + (0, 0, -1, 1, 5, -7)

= (-3, 0, 0, 0, -3, 3)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -3 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 1 by -1/3 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

So, the inverse of our matrix is

\begin{bmatrix}-3&2&1\\2&1&1\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\1&4&-5\\-1&-5&7\end{bmatrix}
