What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y=2/3x+1 that passes through the point (12, -6)?

Answer:

y= -3/2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a perpendicular line you take your slope and make it the opposite (flip it and change the sign).

Slope originally=2/3

New slope= -3/2

Next we will use the point slope equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=y value

m=slope

x1=x value

y--6= -3/2(x-12)  Since you have y minus negative 6 you get to change it to y+6

y+6= -3/2(x-12)  Now distribute your slope to both terms inside the parenthesis.

y+6= -3/2(x) -3/2(-12)

y+6= -3/2x +18    Finally subtract 6 from both sides.

  -6             -6

y= -3/2x + 12

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. parallel lines c and b are cut by transversal a. on line c where it intersects
Ymorist [56]

It would just be 80. They are both in the bottom right and I'm guessing this is one the problems that look like this:

-------/------

-----/--------

So just think about it. If the line is a straight line through two parallel lines then the angles of the two intersections should be the same. Basically because they are both on the bottom right they will be the same. Glad to help!

A regular polygon is defined to be a(n) _____ polygon with congruent sides and congruent angles
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon is defined to be a convex polygon with congruent sides and congruent angles.

Convex means that all interior angles are less than 180 degrees.  However, if all interior angles are equal, the polygon has to be convex.

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER. NEEDS TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
finlep [7]

Answer:

1) C. 4 - 3·i

2) D. The second graph shares the same vertex, is inverted, and opens wider than the first graph

3) C. y = (x - 2)² + 3 would shift right two units

4) B. Figure B' is congruent but not similar to figure B

5) A. m∠k' = m∠k

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that the real part of the complex number = 4

The imaginary of the complex number = -3

The general form of representing complex numbers is z = a + b·i, we have;

The binomial equivalent to the complex number is z = 4 - 3·i

2) The first graph equation is y = 2·x²

When x = 1, y = 2 and when x = 2, y = 8

The vertex = (h, k)

Where;

h = -b/(2.a) and b = 0, a = 2

∴ h = 0/(2 × 2) = 0

h = 0

k = f(h) = f(0) = 2 × 0² = 0

k = 0

The vertex, (h, k) = (0, 0)

The coefficient, 'a' is positive, therefore, the graph opens down

The second function, y = -(1/2)·x² also has a vertex (h, k) = (0, 0)

The coefficient, 'a' is positive, therefore, the graph opens up

When x = 1, y = -1/2 and when x = 2, y = -2

Therefore, the second function is wider

Therefore;

The second graph shares the same vertex, is inverted, and opens wider than the first graph

3) The given functions are;

First function; y = x² + 3 and second function; y = (x - 2)² + 3

First function;

When x = 1, y = x² + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

∴ When x = 1, y = 4

Second function;

When y = 4, y = 4 = (x - 2)² + 3

√(1) = x - 2

x = 3

∴ When x = 3, y = 4

First function;

When x = 2, y = x² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

∴ When x = 2, y = 7

Second function;

When y = 7, y = 7 = (x - 2)² + 3

√4 = 2 = (x - 2)

x = 2 + 2 = 4

x = 4

∴ When x = 4, y = 7

Therefore, the second function, y = (x - 2)² + 3, has the x-value shifted 2 units to the right for a given value of 'y'

4) The lengths of the sides of figure B are 3 by 4, the lengths of the sides of figure B' 4.5 by 6

The ratio of the corresponding length and width of figures B and B' are;

3/4.5 = 4/6

Therefore, figure B' is similar but not congruent to figure B

5) A rotation and a reflection are rigid transformations and therefore, the dimensions and measure of the original figure and the image are the same;

∴ m∠k' = m∠k.
