Answer:

y=½x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Passes through, (1,3)

Perpendicular to x-2y=-8.

Step 1

write the equation in form of y=mx+c

x-2y=8

-2y=-x+8

Dividing both sides of the equation by -2 we get;

y=-x/2+8

y=-½x+8

Thus the gradient is -½. Call it M1

Recall, The product of the gradients(slopes) of perpendicular lines is -1 i.e

M1 × M2= -1

Solve for M2

-½×M2=-1.

Dividing both sides by -½ we get

M2=-1×-2

<h3>M2=2</h3>

Now, use this slope(M2) with the points (1,3) to find the new equation that is perpendicular to x-2y=-8

Note: Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the the slope would be ∆x/∆y i.e (x1-x2)/(y1-y2).

Therefore, identify new point (x,y). Use this new point with point (1,3) and the slope M2 to get the new equation.

Slope=∆x/∆y

M2=(x-1)/(y-3)

but M2 is 2

2=(x-1)/(y-3)

2/1=(x-1)/(y-3) Note: 2= 2/1

Cross multiplying we get:

2(y-3)=1(x-1)

Open the brackets

2y-6=x-1

Solve for y so as to write the equation in form of y=mx+c

2y=x-1 +6

2y=x+5

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

y=x/2+5

<h3>y=½x+5</h3>

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Passes through point (1, 3)

Perpendicular to x – 2y = -8

Solve:

x – 2y = -8

y = 1/2x + 4

The slope is m = 1/2

The slope of the perpendicular line is the inverse of the slope of the original equation.

The slope of the inverse equation is m = -2.

Making an inverse equation of y = -2x + a

Find a:

Use point, (1, 3) where (x, y):

3 = (-2)*(1) + a

a = 5

y = -2x + 5

1 Hector puts a fence around his rectangular
prisoha [69]

Answer:

48 feet of fence

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has 4 sides, the parallel sides are equal to each other in length.

If Hector used 14 feet of fence on the long side, he used 28 feet in total for both long sides.

If Hector used 10 feet for the width/short side, he used 20 feet in total for both short sides.

Put simply: (14 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 48 feet of fence in total

A department store sold 51 51 shirts one day. All short-sleeved shirts cost $14.00 $ 14.00 each and all long-sleeved shirts cost
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

28 short-sleeved shirts were sold and 23 long-sleeved shirts were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of short-sleeved shirts sold.

y is the number of long-sleeved shirts sold.

A department store sold 51 shirts one day.

This means that x + y = 51

All short-sleeved shirts cost $14.00 each and all long-sleeved shirts cost $23.00 each. Total receipts for the day were $921.00.

This means that

14x + 23y = 921

How many of each kind of shirt were sold?

We have to solve the system of equations.

x + y = 51

x = 51 - y

--------------

14x + 23y = 921

14(51 - y) + 23y = 921

714 - 14y + 23y = 921

9y = 207

y = \frac{207}{9}

y = 23

--------

x = 51 - y = 51 - 23 = 28

28 short-sleeved shirts were sold and 23 long-sleeved shirts were sold.

F(1) = 5
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a(7)=3645

Step-by-step explanation:

you have :

f(1) =a= 5

and from recursive rule: f(n) = r · f(n − 1) and f(n) = 3 · f(n − 1)

So r=3

then

a(n)=a*r^(n-1)

a(7)=5*3^(7-1)

a(7)=5*3^6=3645

<em>hope this helps</em>
