Y=f(x) what is the graph for g(x)=1/2f(x)-6

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t

nignag [31]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:

$m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

The given line is:

$5x-2y = -6\\-2y = -6-5x\\2y = 5x + 6\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + \frac {6} {2}\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + 3$

So we have:

$m_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}$

We find $m_ {2}:$ $m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {\frac {5} {2}}\\m = - \frac {2} {5}$

So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:

$y = - \frac {2} {5} x + b$

We substitute the given point to find "b":

$-4 = - \frac {2} {5} (5) + b\\-4 = -2 + b\\-4 + 2 = b\\b = -2$

Finally we have:

$y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2$

In point-slope form we have:

$y - (- 4) = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)$

ANswer:

$y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)$

At a amusement ,park 360 visitors rode the roller coaster in 3 hours.Write and solve a proportion to find the number of visitors

Pachacha [2.7K]

First you need to find out about how many people went on the roller coaster in one hour by doing 360 divided by 3 and you would get 120. So then you would try to find out how many people went on the coaster in 7 hours by doing 360 times 2 because 3 hours multiplied by 2 is 6 and you would do that to find out how many people went on the coaster in 6 hours, and you would get 720. Next, you have 1 more round of people, so you need to do 720 + 120 which is 840. So about 840 people rode the coaster in 7 hours. Hope this helped.

The sides of a right triangle measure 6 times the square root of 3, 6 inches, and 12 inches. If an altitude is drawn from the ri

VARVARA [1.3K]

Length of segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the shorter leg is 5 inches and the length of the altitude is 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let the triangle be ΔABC with right angle at B. The altitude drawn from B intersects the hypotenuse AC at D. So 2 new right angled triangles are formed, ΔADB and ΔCDB.

Step 2: According to a theorem in similarity of triangles, when an altitude is drawn from any angle to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the 2 newly formed triangles are similar to each other as well as to the bigger right triangle. So ΔABC ~ ΔADB ~ ΔCDB.

Step 3: Identify the corresponding sides and form an equation based on proportion. Let the length of the altitude be x. Considering ΔABC and ΔADB, AB/DB = AC/AB

⇒ 6/x = 12/6

⇒ 6/x = 2

⇒ x = 3 inches

Step 4: To find length of the hypotenuse adjacent to the shorter leg (side AB of 6 inches), consider ΔADB.

⇒ $AD^{2} + BD^{2} = AB^{2}$
