Answer:

y=-8/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of perpendicular lines is the opposite reciprocal of the original equation.

To get the opposite reciprocal, flip the fraction and use the opposite sign.

Here, the slope is -8/5 because that is the opposite of 5/8.

To get the equation of the line, use point-slope and then distribute to get the equation in y=mx+b format.

Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1). Use the coordinate (5,-4) in the equation.

y+4=-8/5(x-5)

Multiply (x-5) by -8/5 and simplify.

y+4=-8/5x+8

y=-8/5x+4

1. what’s the distance between (-8, -6) and (4, 10)?

charle [14.2K]

Use the formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$(-8,\ -6),\ (4,\ 10)\\\\d=\sqrt{(4-(-8))^2+(10-(-6))^2}=\sqrt{12^2+16^2}\\\\=\sqrt{144+256}=\sqrt{400}=\boxed{20}\\\\(5,\ 14),\ (-3,\ -9)\\\\d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-9-14)^2}=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-23)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{64+529}=\boxed{\sqrt{593}\approx24.35}$

Describe the 2 transformations that occur when the graph of f(x) =x −−√ is transformed to the graph of g(x) = 2x√ +3 .

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Dilation followed by Translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ .

The new transformed function is $g(x)=2\sqrt{x}+3$

Now, the transformation applied to f(x) to obtain g(x) are:

1. Dilation - it is the transformation that changes the size/shape of the figure. It is generally of the form kf(x) where k is constant.

Since, we are dilating the given function by 2 units, the new dilated function becomes $2\sqrt{x}$ .

2. Translation - it is the transformation that shifts the figure in any direction. When the function is shifted vertically, the general form becomes f(x)+k.

As, we see that the new dilated function is shifted 3 units upwards, the final translated function becomes $g(x)=2\sqrt{x}+3$ .

Hence, the transformations applied to obtain g(x) from f(x) are Dilation followed by Translation.
