Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y - 3x = – 8 that passes through the point

Mathematics

Y - 3x = -8
y = 3x - 8...slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 3

A circle has the order pairs (-1, 2) (0, 1) (-2, -1) what is the equation . Show your work.
olga55 [171]
We know that:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

is an equation of a circle.

When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}

and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.

There will be:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}1+2a+a^2+4-4b+b^2=r^2\\a^2+1-2b+b^2=r^2\\4+4a+a^2+1+2b+b^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\


From equations (II) and (III) we have:

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2-2b+1-a^2-b^2-4a-2b-5=r^2-r^2\\\\-4a-4b-4=0\qquad|:(-4)\\\\\boxed{-a-b-1=0}

and from (I) and (II):

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5-a^2-b^2+2b-1=r^2-r^2\\\\2a-2b+4=0\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{a-b+2=0}

Now we can easly calculate a and b:

\begin{cases}-a-b-1=0\\a-b+2=0\end{cases}\\--------(+)\\\\-a-b-1+a-b+2=0+0\\\\-2b+1=0\\\\-2b=-1\qquad|:(-2)\\\\\boxed{b=\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\\a-b+2=0\\\\\\a-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=0\\\\\\a+\dfrac{3}{2}=0\\\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{3}{2}}

Finally we calculate r^2:

a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\\\\\\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-2\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-1+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{4}=r^2\\\\\\\boxed{r^2=\frac{5}{2}}

And the equation of the circle is:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\\\\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\\boxed{\left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}}

Tom Harding is a proofreader. He is paid $0.23 for every page he proofs. What is Tom's total pay for a week in which he proofrea
natka813 [3]
Alrighty, what I was always taught was to start by writing out what you know from the question.

What I know:
-Tom is paid $0.23 for every page of proofs.
-He proofreads 1,992 pages.

In order to figure out how much money Tom has made, we need to multiply 0.23 by 1,992. Multiplying allows us to see the total amount of money made by proofreading x amount of pages - for every page he proofreads, he makes $0.23.
0.23×1992=458.16

Therefore, Tom made $458.16.

Hope this helps!

Activity Give the exponential model for the following situation​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Suppose that a couple invested $50,000 in an account when their child was born, to prepare for the child's college education. If the average interest rate is 4.4% compounded annually, ( A ) Give an exponential model for the situation, and ( B ) Will the money be doubled by the time the child turns 18 years old?

( A ) First picture signifies the growth of money per year.

( B ) Yes, the money will be doubled as it's maturity would be $108,537.29.

a = p(1 + \frac{r}{n} ) {}^{nt}a=p(1+

n

r

)

nt

a = 50.000.00(1 + \frac{0.044}{1} ) {}^{(1)(18)}a=50.000.00(1+

1

0.044

)

(1)(18)

a = 50.000.00(1 + 0.044) {}^{(1)(18)}a=50.000.00(1+0.044)

(1)(18)

a = 50.000.00(1.044) {}^{(18)}a=50.000.00(1.044)

(18)

50,000.00 ( 2.17074583287910578440507440 it did not round off as the exact decimal is needed.

a = 108.537.29a=108.537.29
