Write an equation of the line that passes through (7, 10) and is perpendicular to the line y= 1/2x - 9

1 answer:

6 0

Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the given slope. This means the new slope is -2.
Then you plug in the point to get your new y intercept 10=(-2)7+b
You solve by first multiplying -2 and 7 to get 10=-14+b
Then you add 14 on both sides to get 24=b
You plug this into the equation with your new slope to get y=-2x+24

Consider that lines a and b are parallel. What is the measurement of ∠12?

tia_tia [17]

76 degrees

∠4 + 42 + 62 = 180

∠4 = 76 degrees; therefore,∠12 also equals 76 degrees

Identify the axis of symmetry, vertex, and y intercept of y=-6x^2+12x-8

Contact [7]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations (with attached graph)

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps to transform the equation into vertex form by completing the square because it tells us a lot about the characteristics of the parabola:

$\displaystyle y=-6x^2+12x-8\\\\y=-6\biggr(x^2-2x+\frac{4}{3}\biggr)\\\\y-6\biggr(-\frac{1}{3}\biggr) =-6\biggr(x^2-2x+\frac{4}{3}-\frac{1}{3}\biggr)\\\\y+2=-6(x^2-2x+1)\\\\y+2=-6(x-1)^2\\\\y=-6(x-1)^2-2$

Since vertex form is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ , we identify the vertex to be $(h,k)\rightarrow(1,-2)$ and the axis of symmetry to be $x=h\rightarrow x=1$ . The y-intercept can be found by setting $x=0$ and evaluating:

$y=-6(x-1)^2-2\\\\y=-6(0-1)^2-2\\\\y=-6(-1)^2-2\\\\y=-6(1)-2\\\\y=-6-2\\\\y=-8$

Hence, the y-intercept of the parabola is $y=-8$ , or $(0,-8)$ as an ordered pair.
