Y = -1/5x + 2

A line perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. What opposite means is that you flip the sign (from - to + or from + to -) and reciprocal means that you flip the numerator and denominator (so if line A is perpendicular to line B and line As slope is -3, line Bs slope would be 1/3).

First find the slope of 5x - y = -3
Add y to both sides
5x = y - 3
Add 3 to both sides
y = 5x + 3

So the slope of the line is 5. That means the slope of of the perpendicular line is -1/5.

Plug the slope of the perpendicular line and the point (5, 1) into point slope form to solve the equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1/5(x - 5)
y - 1 = -1/5x + 1
y = -1/5x + 2

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

?= 63.15789474%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cross multiply

Set ?=x

57 \times x = 100 \times 36 \\ 57x = 3600 \\  \frac{57x}{57}  =  \frac{3600}{57}  \\ x =  \frac{3600}{57} \\ x = 63.15789474

If f(x) = x/2 - 3 an g(x) = 3x^2 + x-6, find (f+g)(x)
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = 3x^2 + 3x/2 - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a composite function through addition, you simply add the two equations together.

f(x) + g(x)

x/2 - 3 + 3x^2 + x - 6

3x^2 + 3x/2 - 9
