Find an equation of the line. Write the equation in function notation. Through (6,-1); perpendicular to 9y=x-18

8 0

The first step is to find the slope of the given line by putting its equation in the form y = mx + b.
9y = x - 18
Dividing both sides by 9, gives:
y = (x/9) - 2
The slope of the given line is therefore 1/9.
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m.
The product of the two slopes must equal -1 for the lines to be perpendicular.
$m\times\frac{1}{9}=-1$
Therefore m = -9.
At this stage the equation of the required line is y = -9x + b.
Now we need to find the value of b.
Plugging the given values of a point on the line (6, -1) into the equation gives:
-1 = -54 + b; from which b = 53.
The required equation for the line is:
f(x) = -9x + 53.

So like, its one of those compare things with: <, >, and = and it says compare: 1/2 of 10 (I know that) but this part stoo

I’m confused?? Do you just need 1/3 of 12? That’s 4 because 12 x 1 =12 and 12/3 is 4 lol

Can someone please help

Answer:

x ≥ 1 (how to graph is listed below)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find where we need to plot the line, we first need to solve the inequality for x:

-2x - 3 ≤ -5

(Add three to both sides)

-2x ≤ -2

(Divide both sides by -2, but we can't forget that whenever we multiple or divide by a negative number, the sign flips!)

x ≥ 1

To graph this on the number line, you would put a dot on the 1 and fill it in completely (you fill in the dot for a "___ and equal to" sign. ex. ≥, ≤)

Then you would make an arrow from the dot to the right on the number line (this is because x must be greater than or equal to 1, so it must be facing in that direction)
