Answer:

y = -4/9x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind:

- the equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

- "y" means output, "x" means input, "m" means slope, and "b" means y intercept

The first step in this equation is to turn 9x - 4y = -8 into slope intercept form.

Step 1: subtract 9x from both sides to begin to isolate y.

9x - 4y = -8

-4y = -9x - 8

Step 2: divide both sides by -4 to further isolate y.

y = 9/4x + 2

Now, we have the equation for the perpendicular line. Remember, the slope of a line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the line perpendicular to it.

This means that the slope of the line we are trying to find the equation for is -4/9.

Now that we have a slope and a point the line passes through, (0, 3), we can find the equation. Plug the coordinates of the point and the slope into the equation for slope-intercept form.

3 = -4/9(0) + b

To find the equation, solve for b.

Step 1: Simplify -4/9(0)

3 = 0 + b

Step 2: Simplify 0 + b

3 = b

Now that we know b and m, we have our equation.

The final answer is y = -4/9x + 3.

A pattern has 77 yellow triangles to every 33 green triangles. What is the ratios of green triangles to yellow triangles?
Anton [14]
For every 33 green triangles, we have 77 yellow triangles.
So using the original ratio 33:77 we can simplify this by dividing both sides by 11 so that we get the ratio 3:7 so for every 3 green triangles we have 7 yellow triangles.

The profit when selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39. How many pairs of shoes should be sold in order to maximize the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Profit on selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39

Find the derivative of the function to find out the critical points

\Rightarrow -8x+32=0\\\Rightarrow x=4

Thus, for 4 pair of shoes profit is maximize.

Find f(-2) for the function:<br><br> f(x)= 3x^2-1, x&lt;1<br> x+2, x&gt; 1
azamat
F(x) = 3x² - 1
f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 1
f(-2) = 3(4) - 1
f(-2) = 12 - 1
f(-2) = 11

f(x) = x < 1
f(-2) = -2 < 1

f(x) = x + 2
f(-2) = -2 + 2
f(-2) = 0

f(x) = x > 1
f(-2) = -2 > 1
f(-2) = -2 < 1
