The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to. Therefore, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of -1/2 which would be 2.

From there, you plug in the coordinate into x and y and solve for b;

5 = 2 * -3 + b

5 = -6 + b

b = 11

Therefore the equation is;

y = 2x + 11

If you vertically compress the linear perent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by 1\2

andrezito [222]

Answer: $y=\dfrac12 x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $a f (x)$ compresses f(x) vertically such that

if 0 < a < 1 (a fraction), the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a units.
if a > 1, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a units.

If we vertically compress the linear parent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by $\dfrac12$ .

Then, the equation of the new function is $y=\dfrac12 F(x)=\dfrac12 x$ .

i.e. $y=\dfrac12 x$ .

How do you find 55% of 140?

yaroslaw [1]

If you type in calculator on google click the buttons and do 140 divided by 55% but the long way to do a percentage problem is to find 1% of the number you start off with and multiply it by the percentage so in this case 1% of 140 would be 1.4 and multiply that by 55 t
