We know that a line is perpendicular to another line if one slope is the opposite reciprocal  of the other. So, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=1/2x-3 would by -2/1 or -2. Now, to find the y intercept, plug in the coordinate (1, -1) to the equation y = -2x + b. 

-1 = -2(1) + b
 
-1 = -2 + b

1 = b

Now we know the y intercept and slope of the new line, which is enough to make the equation. y = -2x + 1 is your answer. 

Hope this helps!! :)

Y = 1/2x - 3. Slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So the perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,-1)...x = 1 and y = -1
now we sub and find b, the y int
-1 = -2(1) + b
-1 = -2 + b
-1 + 2 = b
1 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 1

I need help ASAP please “f(x)= ?”
Gre4nikov [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

just think - what does it mean to translate (shift) a graph upward by 5 units ?

does the graph change in its content ? no. all the functional result value (= y values or coordinates) are still calculated as before, BUT before marking them on the chart the y values are moved up by 5 units. that means they are increased by 5 (that is the only way to move something "up" on a coordinate grid).

so, in other words, f(x) is nothing else but h(x), but it increases the results of h(x) consistently by 5.

h(x) = 2x² + 4

f(x) = h(x) + 5 = 2x² + 4 + 5 = 2x² + 9

The morning announcements said that two out of every seven sixth-grade students in the school have an overdue library book. Jasm
gregori [183]

Answer:

We need to know how many students are in sixth grade and compare the real number with the 84 sixth graders that Jasmine claims to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to know how many students are in sixth grade to determine who is right. If two students out of seven have an overdue library book and grace claims that 24 of them are overdue by that means, what we would need to do is divide the allegedly 24 students between 2. Now we have 12 pairs of students that have overdue books. For every pair of students in sixth grade that have overdue books, seven students don’t have overdue books, so now we multiply 12 pairs of students with overdue books times 7 students who don’t have overdue books. By Jasmine calculation then, sixth grade have 84 students.  

If sixth grade have indeed 84 students, Jasmine is right. If there are not 84 students in sixth grade, she is wrong. Grace is right if there are fewer students than 84 in sixth grade.

Have a nice day! :D

The complex numbers corresponding to the endpoints of one diagonal of a square drawn on a complex plane are 1 + 2i and -2 – i.Wh
Musya8 [376]

On the complex plane, the number a+bi is mapped onto the point with coordinates (a,b).

In other words, the x coordinate is the real part of the number, while the y coordinate is the complex part of the number.

Viceversa, if you start from a point (x,y), you can identify the number x + iy.

So, the endpoints of the diagonal are the points (1,2) and (-2,-1). These are points A and C in the attached figure.

This means that points B and D have coordinates

B = (-2,2),\quad D = (1,-1)

So, the correspondant complex numbers are

B = (-2,2)\mapsto -2+2i,\quad D = (1,-1)\mapsto 1-i

Is that rational or irrational
creativ13 [48]
Irrational

We know that pi is irrational (we can’t express it as a ratio of two numbers), and we are multiplying it by a rational number (-2). However -2 lots of something with infinite digits, will still have infinite digits, therefore it is irrational.
