The equation of line a is y=−14x+3. If line b runs perpendicular to line a and passes through (2, 6), what would be the equation

of line b?

Hint : The product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is - 1 .

______________________________

In slope-intercept ( y = ax + b ) from of the linear equations the coefficient of x is the slope of the line.

Thus :

Slope of line a = - 14

______________________________

Suppose that the slope of line b is x according to the Hint we have :

- 14 × x = - 1

negatives simplify

14x = 1

Divide both side by 14

14x ÷ 14 = 1 ÷ 14

x = 1/14

So the slope of line b is 1/14

_____________________________

Now let's find the equation of line b by point-slope formula using the point question have us ( 2 , 6 ) :

y - y( given point ) = Slope × ( x - x ( g p ) )

y - 6 = 1/14 × ( x - 2 )

y - 6 = 1/14 x - 2/14

y - 6 = 1/14 x - 1/7

Add both sides 6

y - 6 + 6 = 1/14 x - 1/7 + 6

y = 1/14 x - 1/7 + 42/7

y = 1/14 x + 41/7

And we're done ...

What is the sequence of transformations that maps △ABC to △A′B′C′ ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly identify each s
torisob [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Any 1 of the following transformations will work. There are others that are also possible.

  • translation up 4 units, followed by rotation CCW by 90°.
  • rotation CCW by 90°, followed by translation left 4 units.
  • rotation CCW 90° about the center (-2, -2).
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The order of vertices ABC is clockwise, as is the order of vertices A'B'C'. Thus, if reflection is involved, there are two (or some other even number of) reflections.

The orientation of line CA is to the east. The orientation of line C'A' is to the north, so the figure has been rotated 90° CCW. In general, such rotation can be accomplished by a single transformation about a suitably chosen center. Here, we're told there is <em>a sequence of transformations</em> involved, so a single rotation is probably not of interest.

If we rotate the figure 90° CCW, we find it ends up 4 units east of the final position. So, one possible transformation is 90° CCW + translation left 4 units.

If we rotate the final figure 90° CW, we find it ends up 4 units north of the starting position. So, another possible transformation is translation up 4 units + rotation 90° CCW.

Of course, rotation 90° CCW in either case is the same as rotation 270° CW.

_____

We have described transformations that will work. What we don't know is what is in your drop-down menu lists. There are many other transformations that will also work, so guessing the one you have available is difficult.

2x^2+3x+5=0<br> what are all the complex solutions?<br>please i need help!!!
vesna_86 [32]
You'll want to use the quadratic formula:

-b (+/-) sqrt(b^2 - 4ac), all divided by 2a.

Under the square root you'll get:

-11

remember that the square root of -1 is i.

sqrt(-11) can be factored to sqrt(11*-1) and then sqrt(-1) * sqrt(11)

which becomes i*sqrt(11)

so your complex solution is:

-3 (+/-) (i*sqrt(11)), all over 4

Evan said that the difference between two negative numbers must be negative. Was he right? Use examples to illustrate your answe
vladimir1956 [14]
Yes he is right because if u have


-6 -(-4) u would multiply the 2 signs the - and the -4 and u would get +4

then ur equation becomes -6+4 = -2

How to solve this because i think my steps are wrong ?
wlad13 [49]

Replace x with 3:

h(3) = (3^2 -4) /2

= (9-4 ) / 2

= 5/2
