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

Of the 81 people who answered "yes" to a question, 6 were male. of the 70 people that answered "no" to the question, 6 were male
Stells [14]

there is about a 4% chance that they answer yes and about an 8% chance they are male.

Yes probability- 6/151≈.039 which rounds to .4 or 4%

Male probability- 12/151≈.079 which rounds to .8 or 8%

How to solve transformation problems in math
Molodets [167]
In this section we are going to see how knowledge of some fairly simple graphs can help us graph some more complicated graphs. Collectively the methods we’re going to be looking at in this section are called transformations.

Vertical Shifts
The first transformation we’ll look at is a vertical shift.
