Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

The area of a parallelogram is given by

A=bh

Now, if we consider the 9.9 inches side as the base, then the height is the one labeled with 5.5 inches.

If instead we choose the 11 inches side as the base, the height is h.

So, we can express the area in this two equivalent ways:

A = 9.9\cdot 5.5 = 11\cdot h

Solving for h, we have

h = \dfrac{9.9\cdot 5.5}{11} = 4.95

What is the value of the expression f(-3) + 2f(-1) - f (4)<br><br> PLEASE HELP NO LINKS
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Find f(-3) :

f(x) = x² + 2x for x ≤ -3

That means for those values of x, less than or equal to -3, this is the function.

So, f(-3) = (-3)² + 2(-3) = 9 - 6 = 3

Now, f(-1) :

From the given data, we see it is: f(x) = 2 (\frac{1}{3} )^{2x}

We take this because -1 lies between -3 and 4.

Now, f(-1) = 2 (\frac{1}{3} )^{2(-1)}

 => f = (-1) = 2(3)^{2} = 2 (9) = 18

For f(4) :

Clearly, the function is: f (x) = \frac{2x - 5}{x-7}

f (4) = \frac{2(4)-5}{4-7} = \frac{3}{-3} = -1

Therefore, <u>f(-3) + f(-1) - f(4) = 3 + 18 - (-1) = 3 + 18 + 1 = 22.</u>
