Answer:

y = 6/5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's fix this equation

5x + 6y = 36 (subtract 5x on both sides)

6y = -5x + 36 (divide by 6 on both sides)

y = -5/6x + 6

NOW

The perpendicular slope of this equation is 6/5

Now we have to plug in (-5,-4) to get the y-intercept

-4 = 6/5(-5) + b (distribute 6/5 to -5) (b represents the y-intercept)

-4 = -6 + b (add 6 on both sides)

2 = b

So your equation is...

y = 6/5x + 2

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of 1 shirt is x and 5 shirts is 5x but she pays for only 3 of them. You would divide 5 by 3 giving you 3/5 which would be the cost of all the shirts

What is the vertex of the absolute value function defined by ƒ(x) = |x + 2| + 4?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

C. (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=|x+2|+4$ and we are asked to find the vertex of our absolute value function.

The rules for the translation of a function are as follows:

$f|x-h|=\text{Graph shifted to right by h units}$

$f|x+h|=\text{ Graph shifted to left by h units}$

$f|x|+h=\text{ Graph shifted upward by h units}$

$f|x|-h=\text{ Graph shifted down by h units}$

Upon comparing our absolute function with above transformations we can see that our function is shifted to two units right of the origin(0,0) so x coordinate of our absolute function will be -2.

Our function is shifted upward from origin by 4 units, therefore, y-coordinate of our absolute value function will be 4.

$f(x)=|x--2|+4$
