What is the equation of the line that passes through (-9,12) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=1/3x 6?

Y = 1/3x ? 6....slope here is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3 (see how I flipped 1/3 and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-9,12)...x = -9 and y = 12
now we sub and find b, the y int
12 = -3(-9) + b
12 = 27 + b
12 - 27 = b
-15 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3x - 15

Answer:

C. {-5,-4, -3, 1, 2, 5}

Step by step explanation:

We have been given a graph and we are asked to find the domain of the relation represented in graph.

We can see that our graph is a series of unconnected points. Our function represents integer values. So we can see that our graph represents a discrete function.    

Since we know that domain of a discrete function is set of inputs values consisting of only certain values in an interval. .

The set of first value from each of the given points would made domain of our function. Upon looking at our graph we can see that domain of our function is -5,-4, -3, 1, 2 and 5.  

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

A 13-ft ladder is leaning against a house. The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 7-ft less than the distanc
Olin [163]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As a  ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e

P²+B²= H²

Where,

'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance  from the top of the ladder to the ground

'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house

'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13

considering 'x' as perpendicular

So, base would be 'x-7'

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

x² + (x-7)²= 13²

x² +x² -14x +49 =169

2x² -14x -120= 0

x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation

x² + 5x -12x-60=0

x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0

Either : x+5=0 => x=-5

OR: x-12=0 => x=12

We'll choose the positive length.

therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet
