Slope. perp. -3/5

y - 7 = -3/5(x + 5)

y - 7 = -3/5x - 3

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{3}{5}+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=m_1x+b_1,\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2,\ \text{then}\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\===========================\\\\\text{We have}\ m_1=\dfrac{5}{3},\ \text{therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{5}{3}}=-\dfrac{3}{5}.\\\\l:y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-5, 7) to the equation of a line }\ l:\\\\7=-\dfrac{3}{5}(-5)+b\\\\7=3+b\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\4=b\to b=4\\\\\text{Fimally we have the equation:}\\\\l:y=-\dfrac{3}{5}+4$

I need help With what the answer is

Answer:

OPTION C: y = 2x² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the function substitute the values of 'x' and 'y' and compare LHS and RHS.

OPTION A: y = -(5x + 1)

When x = -2, y = 9

Therefore, LHS = 9

RHS = -(5(-2) + 1) = -(-10 + 1) = 9

So, LHS = RHS.

Now, we check for the second pair. i.e., (x, y) = (-1, 3)

LHS = 3

RHS = -(-5 + 1) = -(-4) = 4

LHS $\ne$ RHS

So, this option is eliminated.

OPTION B: y = - 4x + 1

Like OPTION A, substitute x = -2 and y = 9.

LHS = 9

RHS = - 4(-2) + 1 = 9

LHS = RHS

Now for the second pair: (-1, 3)

LHS = 3

RHS = -4(-1) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

We see LHS $\ne$ RHS.

So, this option is eliminated as well.

OPTION C: y = 2x² + 1

Substituting the first pair: (-2, 9)

LHS = 9

RHS = 2(4) + 1 = 9

So, LHS = RHS

Now For the second pair: (-1, 3)

We have LHS = 3

RHS = 2(1) + 1 = 3

LHS = RHS.

The third pair: (0, 1)

LHS = 1

RHS = 2(0) + 1 = 1

For the pair: (1, 3)

LHS = 3

RHS = 2(1) + 1 = 3

Again, LHS = RHS

For the pair: (2, 9)

LHS = 9

RHS = 2(4) + 1 = 9

Since, for all the pairs we have LHS and RHS equal, we con conclude that this is the correct representation of our function.

Similarly, substitute OPTION D. The option can be eliminated in the second pair itself.

So, the answer is OPTION C.

A ceiling 6 feet by 7 feet can be painted for $52. find the cost of painting a ceiling 18 feet by 21 feet, all things being equa

kykrilka [37]

6 feet * 7 feet = 42 feet²

18 feet * 21 feet = 378 feet²

42 feet² was painted for $52

1 feet² will be painted for $52/42

378 feet² will then be painted for: ($52/42) * 378

= $468

Hence 18 feet by 21 feet will be painted for $468

Hope this helps.
