Set up a proportion:

$288/$48000 = x/$59000

Cross multiply

16992000 = 48000x

x = 354

The tax on the $59000 house was $354

Write an equation of a line perpendicular to y=4x-3 that contains the point (0,7)

ExtremeBDS [4]

Let $k:y=m_1x+b_1$ and $l:y=m_2x+b_2$

$l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

We have

$y=4x-3\to m_1=4$

Therefore

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have the equation of a line:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (0, 7) to the equation of a line:

$7=-\dfrac{1}{4}(0)+b\\\\\7=b\to b=7$

Answer: $\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+7}$

Find the equation of the line of symmetry of y= (x+2)(x-8).

Daniel [21]

Answer:

line of symmetry , x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of quadratic equation is y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c equal all real numbers. You can use the formula x = -b / 2a to find the line of symmetry.

$y = (x+ 2)(x-8)\\\\y = (x^2 -8x + 2x -16)\\\\y = x^2 -6x -16$

a = 1, b = -6, c = -16

Line of symmetry is ,

$x = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{-6}{2} = 3$
