What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 3 with a y-intercept of -6

Mathematics

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>          y = -¹/₂ x - 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇒    m₁×m₂ = -1

 

y = 2x + 3   ⇒   m₁=2

2×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₂

The y-intercept is b=-6 so the equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                y = -¹/₂ x - 6

Given h(x) =3x-4 find x if h(x) =17
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 17 so you would input 17 for h(x). The equation should look like this. 17= 3x-4. Add 4 to both sides changing the equation to 21 = 3x. Finally divide both side by 3 and you should get x = 7.

Solve the equation 4x^2-12x=7 algebraically for x.
ss7ja [257]
                            4x² - 12x = 7
                                      - 7  - 7
                       4x² - 12x - 7 = 0
                4x² + 2x - 14x - 7 = 0
2x(2x) + 2x(1) - 7(2x) - 7(1) = 0
          2x(2x + 1) - 7(2x + 1) = 0
                    (2x - 7)(2x + 1) = 0
       2x - 7 = 0    or    2x + 1 = 0
           + 7 + 7                 - 1  - 1
             2x = 7                 2x = -1
              2     2                  2      2
               x = 3¹/₂      or       x = ⁻¹/₂
