Answer:

A. y=-1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the information 3y=12x-9, the lines are perpendicular, and the new line passes through (-4,1). First, you want to put the original equation into slope intercept form by isolating the y, to do this we need to divide everything by 3 to get y=4x-3. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals so you need to find the negative reciprocal of 4, so flip it to 1/4 and multiply by -1, we get the slope of the new line as -1/4. So far we have the equation y=-1/4x+b. We are given a point on the line, (-4,1), we can plug these into the equation as x and y to solve for the y-intercept, b. You set it up as 1=-1/4(-4)+b. First you multiply to get 1=1+b, then you subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the variable and you get b=0. Then you can use b to complete your equation with y=-1/4x, or letter A.

F(x)=x²-3x-2 then f(-1) is given by​
evablogger [386]

Answer:

f(-1) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this function at x = -1, replace "x" in the equation with (-1) (you should use the parentheses as indicated here).

f(x)=x²-3x-2 becomes

f(-1)=(-1)² - 3(-1) -2, or

f(-1) = 1 + 3 - 2, or

f(-1) = 2
