Answer:

3x - y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 3y = 21 ( subtract x from both sides )

3y = - x + 21 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 7 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3} } = 3 , thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c , substitute (1, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 3 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 3 = - 6

y = 3x - 6 ← in slope- intercept form

subtract y from both sides

0 = 3x - y - 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

6 = 3x - y , that is

3x - y = 6 ← in standard form

F (10) = 10/2 = 5 . how to solve this problem​
Sonja [21]

Answer:

f(10) means to input x = 10 into the function.

From inspection of the given function:

\sf f(10)=\dfrac{10}{2}=5

the "10" is the numerator of the fraction.

Therefore, swap the "10" for "x" to give the function in terms of x:

\sf f(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}

What if X if [ -1 -2 4 8] +X= [-5 -1 2 1]?
Arada [10]

Answer:

[-4 1 -2 - 7]

Step-by-step explanation:

[-1 - 2 4 8] + X = [-5 - 1 2 1]

X= [-5 - 1 2 1]- [-1 - 2 4 8]

X=[-5-(-1) - 1-(-2) 2-4 1-8]

X=[-4 1 - 2 - 7]
