Answer:

A. y=1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a line that is perpendicular to another line, all you have to do is find the "opposite reciprocal" of the slope. In this case that means writing the slope as the fraction -3/1, and then flipping the fraction over (1/-3) and taking away the negative sign which gets you 1/3 for the slope of your new line. Now, all you have of your new equation is the slope. You need to take your new equation (y=1/3x+b) and plug in the x and y coordinates to that equation, and then solve for the last variable which is b. That solving process goes as follows:

3=1/3*6+b

3=2+b

1=b

now you can replace the b with 1 in your equation to get your final answer of y=1/3x+1

Part A.) in another baseball game division, one team had a winning percentage of 0.444... what fractions of the game did the tea

sattari [20]

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4444... can be written as a geometric series with first term 0.4 and common ratio 0.1. Each new digit is 0.1 times the previous digit.

0.4

Then 0.4444... = ------------ = 0.4/0.9 = 4/9

1 - 0.1

You may check this result by dividing 4 by 9 on a calculator.

How do you do this question?

Bess [88]

"The function is decreasing":

This means the slope of the function will be negative at the given point. Anywhere the line is going down, from left to right, is decreasing. This eliminates choices A and C.

"The function is concave down":

This means the curve of the function will be open down (think of an upside down u). This eliminates choice E.

"f(x)>0":

This is anywhere the curve is above the x axis. This eliminates choice D.

The answer is Choice B) x=2.

Hope this helps!!

Which represents the reflection of f(x)=sqrt x over the y axis

zloy xaker [14]

reflection of $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ over the y axis we get $g(x)=\sqrt{-x}$
