Write the final equation using the slope-intercept form perpendicular to 3y = x − 4 and passes through the point (−2, 1)

Answer:

y=-3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation:

3y=x-4

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

(m is the slope, b is the y intercept)

divide by 3

y=1/3x-4/3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If you multiply them together, the result is -1.

so to find the slope of the perpendicular line, use this equation:

1/3m=-1

multiply by 3

m=-3

the slope of the new line is -3.

here is our equation so far:

y=-3x+b

now, we need to find b.

Since the equation of the line passes through the point (-2,1) we can substitute that into the equation to find b

1=-3(-2)+b

multiply

1=6+b

subtract 6

-5=b

so the line is y=-3x-5

Hope this helps!

Find an equation of a line containing the point (-6,3) and has slope<br> - 1/3
AfilCa [17]

Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b         [multiply]

3=2+b                   [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.

The length of the side of a square is equal to the perimeter of the square divided by four. Which shows the correct graph relati
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Perimeter of a square, and the y-axis is labeled Side length of a square. A line goes through points (4, 1), (8, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the perimeter of the square

y ---> the side length of the square

Remember that

The perimeter of the square is given by the expression

P=4b

where

b is the length side of the square

solve for b

b=\frac{1}{4}P

That means

A ordered  pair in the coordinate plane following the rule

(x,y) -----> (x,x/4)

The y-coordinate is equal to the x-coordinate divided by 4

y=x/4

therefore

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Perimeter of a square, and the y-axis is labeled Side length of a square. A line goes through points (4, 1), (8, 2).

Because

For the point (4,1)

substitute in the linear equation the value of x

y=4/4=1 ----> is ok

For the point (8,2)

substitute in the linear equation the value of x

y=8/4=2 ----> is ok

BRAINLIEST<br>Find the value of x in each of the following exercises:
ohaa [14]

The value of x is 120°

Explanation:

It is given that ABC is a straight line.

Also, ∠CBE = 20° and ∠CAF = 40°

We need to determine the value of ∠DBE

Let ∠DBE = x

Since, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are alternate interior angles.

By the alternate interior angles theorem, "if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal".

Thus, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are equal.

Hence, ∠CAF = ∠ABD = 40°

Since, we know that, the angles in a straight line add up to 180°, we have,

∠ABD + ∠DBE + ∠CBE = 180°

Substituting the values, we get,

40° + x + 20° = 180°

Adding, we have,

60° + x = 180°

Subtracting both sides by 60, we have,

x = 120°

Thus, the value of x is 120°
