Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line Y=-1/3x+1, passing through the point (2,7)?

1 answer:

5 0

Y= 3X + 1. Perpendicular means you would change the slope by flipping it and changing the sign. So the slope then becomes 3. Then you use your points to find the y-intercept by filling in the variables. 7=3(2) + B. 7=6 + B. Then subtract 6 from both sides. B=1. Then you just put your problem back into slope intercept form with your new slope and y-intercept. Y=3x + 1.

Find the sum of the first 40 terms of a geometric sequence where the first term is 16 and the common ratio is 1.1. 704 7,081.480

Lilit [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression can be determined by using the formula:

Tn=arn−1

where: a = first term and r = common ratio

Substitute the given values of first term and common ratio into the formula:

Tn=arn−1

T5=(40)(0.5)5−1

T5=(40)(0.5)4

T5=(40)(0.0625)

T5=2.5

What equation represents a line which is parallel to the y-axis

sasho [114]

Answer:

y-axis is x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

if P(x, y) is any point on AB, then x = a. Hence, the equation of a straight line parallel to the y-axis at a distance from it is x = a. The equation of the y-axis is x = 0, since, the y-axis is parallel to itself at a distance 0 from it.
