Answer:
he will use 2 posts.
Step-by-step explanation:
the two posts together will make 1 foot, so with one post on each endof the 7 foot deck, that leaves 6 feet between them.
It would be in the top left corner
Answer:
y = -3(x + 1)² + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex
The vertex of the quadratic function is (-1, 9)
The only equation listed that has a vertex at (-1, 9) is:
y = -3(x + 1)² + 9
You can always draw a right-angled triangle where the sloped side c is the line between the two points of interest, and a and b are the sizes of the horizontal and vertical lines.
Then apply c = √(a²+b²)
1) Parallel lines have equal slopes.
We need to find the slope of the given line by solving for y.
5x - 15y = 30
-15y = -5x + 30
y = (1/3)x - 2
The slope of the given line is 1/3, so the slope of the parallel line is also 1/3.
2) Line 1 has slope 2/3.
Line 2 has slope 2/3.
3) Line 1 is a vertical line through x = 2. Line 2 is a horizontal line through y = -5. The lines are perpendicular.
4) The given line can is solved for y, so we can see its slope is -5/2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. The perpendicular line has slope 2/5. We have point (5, 0) which is (x1, y1) in the slope-point formula.
y - 0 = (2/5)(x - 5)
y = 2/5 x - 2
5) The given equation has slope -3. To find the negative reciprocal, write the slope as a fraction, flip it, and change the sign.
Slope of perpendicular line is 1/3.
