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

1 answer:

7 0

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

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the absolute value parent function f(x) = |x| and this function is vertically compressed by a factor 3.

If we multiply the function with a constant (say a) then the parent function will get stretch/compressed vertically.

We have below conditions for vertical stretch and compression.

a > 1 => vertically stretch

0 < a < 1 => vertically compression

Hence, in order to vertical compression by a factor 3, we have to multiply the whole function by 1/3

Therefore, the equation for new function is

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close measurements are to the "true" value (which is the target in this case), while precision refers to how close measurements are to each other.

Since the arrows fall away from the bullseye and are spread out I would classify this as low accuracy and low precision.

A fencing company charges $22per foot to install a wood fence around a rectangular pool area that is 20 feet wide and 38 feet lo

pantera1 [17]

We will need to find the perimeter here, since in this context we’re talking about fencing around a rectangular pool. The formula for perimeter is P = 2L + 2W. The L and W can stand for length/width which is the same as wide/long in this problem. I will now plug in the numbers. P = 2(38) + 2(20) which gives us 76 + 40. 76 + 40 is 116. Therefore, the perimeter is 116 ft.

I know that the fencing company charges $22 per foot. I can multiply 116 x 22 to give me $2552. The answer is $2552.
