Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other.  In order to write the equation of a line perpendicular to the one given, we need to find the slope of the given line and then take the opposite reciprocal of it.  The current form the line is in does not give us a clear idea of what the slope is.  We will first put the given line into slope-intercept form (right now it's in standard form, which is not helpful for anything at all!).  Solving the given equation for y:

12y = -2x - 1 and

y=-\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{1}{12} (notice I reduced the slope's fraction from -2/12)

That means that the slope of the given line is -1/6.  So the perpendicular slope is positive 6/1 or just 6.  

Using that slope and the given point in point-slope form to write the equation:

y - 9 = 6(x - 0) and

y - 9 = 6x - 0 and

y = 6x + 9

There you go!

First you would take one and move it over to the left side and never leave for why and then you divide by one which would leave for why and it would also have X equals 4Y and then you divide ask my Y and I will just leave you which is XY equals four

What is the correct answer to this question?<br><br> F/2=5/8
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

F = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

All you would have to do is cross multiply, so our equations starts at \frac{F}{2} = \frac{5}{8}. We would now multiply F by 8 and 2 by 5. We now have 8F = 10. We can now divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get F = 1.25.

Minimize Q=x^2+2y^2, where x+y=3
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>The first step you need to do is to rewrite
x+y=3
as y=3-x
</span><span>Now we can replace the y in the equation with our newfound value for y, which is
y=3-x.
So lets write it now like this
Q=x^2+2(3-y)^2
=x^2+18-12x+2x^2
=3x^2+18-12x
</span>Hope this helps
