It is not because always remember, a positive is greater than a negative. This equation is showing a negative being greater than a positive. That's like saying I'm taller than you.

Express a decimal number ( ie 0.768) - process description please - as a rational number (96/125)?
Stels [109]

The decimal representation of any number is a linear combination of powers of 10. In other words, given a number like 123.456, we can expand it as

1\cdot10^2+2\cdot10^1+3\cdot10^0+4\cdot10^{-1}+5\cdot10^{-2}+6\cdot10^{-3}

10^{-n}=\dfrac1{10^n} for any n, so the above is the same as

100+20+3+\dfrac4{10}+\dfrac5{100}+\dfrac6{1000}=\dfrac{100000+20000+3000+400+50+6}{1000}=\dfrac{123456}{1000}

Similarly, we can write

0.768=\dfrac{768}{1000}

Now it's a question of reducing the fraction as much as possible. We have \mathrm{gcd}(768,1000)=8 so

\dfrac{768}{1000}=\dfrac{96\cdot8}{125\cdot8}=\dfrac{96}{125}

Strike441 [17]

y=2\cos(3x-2\pi)\\\\\text{The period of a cosine is}\ 2\pi.\\\\P-period\\\\2\cos(3(x+P)-2\pi)=2\cos(3x-2\pi)\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\cos(3x+3P-2\pi)=\cos(3x-2\pi)\iff3x+3P-2\pi=3x-2\pi+2\pi\\\\3x+3P-2\pi=3x\qquad\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\\\3P-2\pi=0\qquad\text{add}\ 2\pi\ \text{to both sides}\\\\3P=2\pi\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{P=\dfrac{2\pi}{3}}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{D.\ \dfrac{2\pi}{3}}

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocals. This means that if you multiply the slopes of both lines, the product will be a -1.

In your given point-slope equation, the slope is 1/3. Therefore, the negative reciprocal of 1/3 must be -3.

Out of the given options:

y + 2 = -3(x — 4)
y = -3x - 5

are the linear equations that are perpendicular to y — 1 = 1/3(x + 2).

Therefore, the correct answers are Options 1 and 3.
