The Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:


y=mx+b \\ \\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ is \ the \ y-intercept


There is a line that is perpendicular to the line we are looking for, so the slope is:

m_{1}=\frac{3}{4}


For two perpendicular lines it is true that:


m_{1}m_{2}=-1 \\ \\ \therefore \frac{3}{4}m_{2}=-1 \\ \\ \therefore m_{2}=-\frac{4}{3}


m_{2} is the slope of the line we are looking for.


Therefore we have that:


y=-\frac{4}{3}x+b \\ \\ For \ the \ point \ (-12,10) \\ \\ 10=-\frac{4}{3}(-12)+b \\ \\ \therefore b=-6


Finally, our line is:


\boxed{y=-\frac{4}{3}x-6}

If r(x)=3x-1 and s(x)=2x+1, which expression is equivalent to (r-s)(6)
daser333 [38]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  find (r- s) or  r(x) - s(x)

 r(x) - s(x) = 3x - 1 - (2x + 1)

       r(x) - s(x) = 3x - 1 - 2x - 1   (distribute the -1 to 2x and 1)

           r(x) - s(x) =  x - 2        (combine like terms, 3x + (-2x) = x, -1 + (-1) = -2)

          so   r(x) - s(x) = x - 2, or   (r - s)(x) = x - 2

Step 2:  Plug in 6 to 'x' and find (r - s)(x)

  (r - s)(6) =  6 - 2   =   4
