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}

Need help ASAP fine the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth x=
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we use the sine rule

For the sine rule,

the ratio of the sides to the sine of the angle facing the side is equal for all the sides of the triangle

Thus,

x/sin 34 = 11/ sin 27

x = 11 sin 34/sin 27

x = 13.5

A.) Reflect the parent function over the y-axis, and translate it 3 units to the right.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Its very hard to explain it with out a visual representation but if you put that in standard for to translate it into slope intercept form and put it on the grid the rest should be a piece of cake.
