Hello
<span>an equation for the line in​ point-slope form and general form is :
y = ax+b   a : </span>slope  ; the <span>Passing through (x' ; y')
</span>y' = ax'+b 
y-y' =a(x-x')      and : x' =2   y' = - 1
calculate a :
let :  y = ax+b .....(D)
   ....<span>3y-x=7</span>....(D') or  y = (1/3)x+7/3
.(D) perpendicular to(D') : slope (D) × slope (D') = -1 

 slope (D') = 1/3
slop(D)×(1/3) = -1
slope (D) = -3
equation for the line    :   y-y' =a(x-x') 
y+1 =(-3) (x-2)

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we insert the original coordinates into the problem, we will find the answer.

(2+2, 1-5)

so, once solved

(4, -4)

remember, adding to X means moving the point right, subtracting to X means moving left.

Adding to Y means moving the point up, subtracting to Y means moving down.

The numerator of a fraction (which is in its simplest form) is 5 less than the denominator. If the numerator is multiplied by 2,
timama [110]
N = d - 5

2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3

Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8

2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.

Determine if the equation defines y as a function of x: 2xy=1
Leona [35]
Solve for y...

2xy=1

y=1/(2x)

So this is a function as each x value (with the exception of x=0) produces just one value for y.  However, technically there is a vertical asymptote about the vertical line x=0.  So there is a discontinuity as x=0.

I say this technically, because most would say that this function is true even with the discontinuity (as they do with say y=tana), but technically the discontinuity makes this not a function because another requirement of a function is for their to be an actual output value for each input value.  In this case division by zero when x=0 is undefined and cannot be included as part of a function.  So if you are picky about being absolute, 2xy=1 is really two functions.  One with a domain of (-oo,0) and another with a domain of (0,+oo).
