Find an equation for the line perpendicular to y=−15x+3 with x-intercept at x = 3.

bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's find the slope of the provided line then

\bf y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-15}x+3\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-15\implies -\cfrac{15}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{15}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{1}{15}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}}}

well, we know the x-intercept is at x = 3, recall when a graph intercepts the x-axis y = 0, so this point is (3 , 0).  Then we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/5 and runs through (3 , 0).

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{1}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=\cfrac{1}{5}(x-3)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{5}x-\cfrac{3}{5}

A line passes through (2, −1) and (4, 5).
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

−3x + y = −7       y - 9 = 5 (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

5 - (-1) / 4 - 2

6/2

= 3

slope intercept: −3x + y = −7

y - 9 = 5 (x - 1)

Determine in which quadrant the product of 5(cos3pi/8 + isin 3pi/8) and sqrt 2(cos pi/12 + sin pi/12) lies.
ohaa [14]
When you multiply two complex numbers given in polar form, the argument of the product is the sum of the arguments of the factors. Meanwhile, the modulus of the product is the product of the moduli of the factors.


In this case, you'd have

\dfrac{3\pi}8+\dfrac\pi{12}=\dfrac{11\pi}{24}

and the modulus would simply be 5\sqrt2. Since

\dfrac{11\pi}{24}

we would expect the final product to fall in the first quadrant.
