Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find an equation of a line that crosses the point (6,-4) and is perpendicular to y = -2x -3.

First, let's find the slope of the line we want to write. The line we want is perpendicular to y = -2x -3. Recall that if two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. What this means is that:

m_1\cdot m_2=-1

Plug -2 for one of the slopes.

-2\cdot m_2=-1

Divide by -2 to find the slope of our line.

m_2=1/2

Thus, our line needs to have a slope of 1/2.

Now, let's use the point-slope form. The point-slope form is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\

Plug in 1/2 for the slope m and let's let our point (6,-4) be x₁ and y₁. Thus:

y-(-4)=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)\\

Simplify and distribute:

y+4=\frac{1}{2} x-3

Subtract 4 from both sides:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-7

The above is the equation that passes the point (6,-4) and is perpendicular to y = -2x -3.

Factor Completely. 3x^2-30x+63
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The correct answer is,

3x² - 30 x + 63 = 3(x - 3)(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is 3x² - 30 x + 63

<u>Factorization of 3x² - 30 x + 63</u>

<u>Splitting method</u>

3x² - 30 x + 63 = 3(x² - 10 x + 21)      (taking 3 as common)

= 3(x² - 3 x  - 7x + 21)        (middle term splitting)

= 3[x (x - 3) -7(x - 3)]           (taking x and -7 as common)    

= 3[(x - 3)(x - 7)]

Therefore 3x² - 30 x + 63 = 3(x - 3)(x - 7)

The correct answer is 3(x - 3)(x - 7)
