Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Step One

Find the perpendicular to the line with a given slope of - 1

m1 * m2 = - 1            Let the given line have a slope of - 1. Call it m1

-1 * m2 = - 1              Divide both sides by -1

-1/-1 * m2 = -1/-1

m2 = 1

Step Two

Write what you have so far

y = 1 * x + b

y = x + b

Step Two

Solve the general equation for (2,-2)

y = x + b

x = 2

y = -2

-2 = 2 + b      Subtract 2 from both sides

-2 - 2 = b       switch and add

b= - 4

Answer

y = x -4

What is the solution of √1-3x = x+3 ?<br><br><br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

{-1, -8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Please enclose "1 - 3x" inside parentheses so the reader will know that you want the square root of all of "1 - 3x".

Squaring both sides of the given equation, we get:

1 - 3x = x^2 + 6x + 9, or  x^2 + 6x + 8 + 3x, or

x^2 + 9x + 8 = 0.  Factoring, we get:  (x + 8)(x + 1) = 0, so that the solutions are {-1, -8}.

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, -9) and (7, 1). Include your work in y
lys-0071 [83]
First find the slope, 
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(1-(-9))/(7-6)=10
Next, use the point slope form to find the equation:
L : y-y1=m(x-x1) => y-1=10(x-7) 
    [in point slope form, point is (7,1), slope=m=10 ]
