Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)
Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.
The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.
Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.
So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c
Which would be 1 = -1 +c
And so c = 2
Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2
What exactly are you trying to figure out
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6 </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>
Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.
1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side.
y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30 ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:
y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>
The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>
No, because it has a constant rate of change
By looking at this table
The y value changes at a constant multiple of 2
6 4
7 2 (4-2 is a difference of 2)
8 0 (2-0 is a difference of 2)
9 -2 (0-2 is a difference of 2)
This means it is Linear
