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 would not normally stop to answer this question, mainly because
there is no question asked.  It's just three statements.

I do have to stop here and leave a remark, however. 

Math and Physics are closely enough related that I would not
have expected to see what I see here.  Although the math in
this question is reasonable, the Physics is inexcusable.

A rainbow is always a part of a circle.
Rainbows are never parabolas.

You could never cut a parabola out of paper, and then
hold it up in front of you after a rainstorm, and match it
to the rainbow.

Find the area of the shape shown<br> below.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 28 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle, ignoring the triangle.

a = lw \\ a = 4 \times 8 = 32

Then, find the area of the triangle:

a =  \frac{bh}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{2 \times 4}{2}  \\ a = 4

Finally, subtract:

32 - 4 = 28

A line passes through the point (4,8) and has a slope of 3/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form this line.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

3x-2y=-4 is the equation of the slope intercept line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passing through point (4,8)=(x1,y1)

Slope(m)=3/2

the equation is

or (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

or (y-8)=3/2(x-4)

or 2y-16=3x-12

or 2y-3x=16-12

or 2y-3x=4

or -(3x+2y)=4

or 3x-2y=-4

This is the Final equation of that line..
