What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x+3y=9 and passes through the point (-3,2)

Mathematics

Answer:

y=-3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the line is currently in standard form (ax+by=c). Let's put it into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

-x+3y=9

add x to both sides

3y=x+9

divide by 3

y=1/3x+3

perpendicular lines have slopes that when multiplied, equal -1.

to find the slope (m) of our new line:

1/3m=-1

multiply by 3

m=-3

the slope of the new line is -3

here's our equation so far:

y=-3x+b

we need to find b (y intecept)

since the line passes through the point (-3,2), it should be a solution in the equation (plug it in, and the result is a true statement). We can also use it to find b

so, substitute the pointt into the equation:

2=-3(-3)+b

multiply

2=9+b

subtract

-7=b

so the equation of the line is y=-3x-7

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  16. a: (-90°, (4, 3)); b: (90°, (0, 3)); c: (-90°, (0, 0))

  17. a: (down, (4, -1)); b: (right, (4, 3)); c: (up, (5, 2))

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what notation you're used to seeing for rotations. Here. we'll use the form [degrees CCW, (center)]. (CW angles are negative.) In any rotation, the center is the point that is invariant (remains in the same place)

16.

a) The tail is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (4, 3)).

b) The tip is invariant, so the rotation is (90°, (0, 3)).

c) The origin is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (0, 0))

__

17.

a) The tail is invariant, so the arrow is pointing down with the tip at (4, -1).

b) The center is invariant, so the arrow is reversed. It is pointing right with the tip at (4, 3).

c) Point (2, 3) is invariant, so the arrow is pointing up with the center at (5, 0). The tip is at (5, 2).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you have trouble visualizing these rotations, you might find it useful to trace the arrow on a piece of (semi-)transparent medium (plastic or tracing paper) so that you can move it as required to match the descriptions in the problem statement. A pin, or a dot on your tracing, can serve to fix the center of rotation. A little hands-on never hurts in math and geometry.

Frank’s quarter grades are 82.5, 94.7, and 87.9. What grade, rounded to the nearest percent, will Frank have to earn in the last
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The given final course grade, 88%, is the average of Frank's four quarter grades. The average is the sum of all grades divided among the four quarters. Let x be the average,
                                  (82.5 + 94.7 + 87.9 + x) / 4 = 88
The value of x is equal to 86.9. Thus, the answer is letter C. 87%.

Find the domain in interval notation.
Nady [450]

Answer:

<em>x ∈ ( - ∞ , - 8 ) ∪ ( - 8 , 0 ) ∪ ( 0 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8 , ∞ ) </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ - 64x = x( x² - 64 ) ≠ 0 ⇒ x ≠ 0 and x ≠ ± 8

<em>x ∈ ( - ∞ , - 8 ) ∪ ( - 8 , 0 ) ∪ ( 0 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8 , ∞ )</em>
