Answer:

y =1

Step-by-step explanation:

$(9,-1)=(x ,y)\\\\x =m_1 =9\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{m_1} = \frac{-1}{9} = -\frac{1}{9} \\\\Substitute \:the \:values\:into ;\\y =mx+b\\\\-1 =-\frac{1}{9} (9) +b\\-1 = -1+b\\-1+1 = b\\0 =b\\m= 1 \\Substitute\:the\:new\:values\:into ;\\y = mx+b\\y = 1 x +0\\ y= 1$

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the line x = 9 is a vertical line, therefore a line perpendicular to it will be a horizontal line of the form y = constant number.

Since we want it to go through the point (9, -1), then we know that that y value needs to be "-1", and the equation of the line will be given by the expression:

y = -1

Can somebody help me

Answer:

Y=5

You must first divide b (-10) by two and square it to know what you need to make a perfect square (25). You must then add or subtract the amount to make C (-13) into that number (add 38). Don't forget to do it on the other side too! (3 becomes 41) You then factor the left side. ((Y-5)^2=41) The result is your answer. (Y=5)

Determine a series of transformations that would map polygon ABCDE onto polygon A’B’C’D’E

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Reflected across x-axis followed by a dilation with a scale factor of 2 about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's clear from the graph,

Polygon ABCDE is reflected across x-axis then dilated so that it overlaps polygon A'B'C'D'E'

Let's choose a point A having coordinates (-2, -1)

By reflecting point A across x-axis,

Rule to be followed for the reflection,

(x, y) → (x, -y)

By this rule, coordinates of the image point A will be,

A(-2, -1) → A"(-2, 1)

Now point A"(-2, 1) has been dilated by a scale factor = k to form an image points A'(-4, 2).

Rule for the dilation of a point about the origin is,

A"(x, y) → A'(kx, ky)

A"(-2, 1) → A'(-2k, k)

Since, coordinates of point A' are (-4, -2),

Therefore, -2k = -4

k = 2

Hence, polygon ABCDE was reflected across x-axis followed by a dilation with a scale factor of 2 about the origin to form polygon A'B'C'D'E'.

Susan works as a tutor for $10 and hour, and as a waitress for $11 an hour. This month, she worked a combined total of 90 hours

uysha [10]

Answer:

$\$(990-t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Susan works as a tutor for $10 and hour, and as a waitress for $11 an hour. This month, she worked a combined total of 90 hours at her two jobs. Let t be the number of hours Susan worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount she earned this month

Let

t -----> the number of hours that Susan work as a tutor

y ----> the number of hours that Susan work as a waitress

z ---> the combined total dollar amount she earned this month

we know that

$t+y=90$

$y=90-t$ -----> equation A

we know that

The combined total dollar amount she earned this month is equal to the number of hours that Susan work as a tutor multiplied by $10 plus the number of hours that Susan work as a waitress multiplied by $11

$z=10t+11y$ ----> equation B
