<h2>Answer:</h2>

First we must find the opposite-reciprocal of the original slope.

current slope: \frac{7}{3}

new slope: -\frac{3}{7}

Using the new slope and the given point, we will plug them into slope-intercept form and solve for b, the y-intercept.

9 = -\frac{3}{7}(-4) + b\\\\9 = \frac{12}{7} + b\\\\-\frac{51}{7} = b

The y-intercept is -\frac{51}{7}.

Now, we can write the formula for the new line.

Slope-intercept form: y = -\frac{3}{7}x - \frac{51}{7}

Point-slope form: y - 9 = -\frac{3}{7}(x + 4)

Answer: Scale Factor = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The top side of the blue triangle is equal to 2 and the top side of the red triangle is equal to 6. Therefore you hav to divide 6 by 2 to give you the scale factor which is 3. (Sorry I do not know if zoom factor is the same as scale factor)

What is the value of x in the equation -6/7= -×/84?
pantera1 [17]
-6/7 = -x/84

84/7 = 12

12(-6) = -72

x = -72

So, -6/7 = -72/84 because -72/84 simplifies to -6/7

Please help me :) with this math problem, it's exponential functions.
noname [10]

Answer:

f(x) = 9(5/3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(b^x)

x = 0

9 = a(b⁰)

9 = a

f(x) = 9(b^x)

x = 1

15 = 9(b¹l

b = 15/9

b = 5/3

f(x) = 9(5/3)^x
