Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither.

It is a complex number. The - sign is the culprit. sqrt(-144) = i * sqrt(144) = 12 i

The "i" is an imaginary representation for the square root of -1. It is a definition for sqrt(-1). So a new category of number has been created. The ancients would have been profoundly surprised to learn that such a thing existed.

1. Segment AB has the coordinates given.

The first image has a coordinate of A'(1, 6) B'(-3, 7)

<h3>How to calculate the coordinates of an image after a translation?</h3>

Translation can be defined as movement in a straight line.

Given the rule: (x,y) → (x + 3, y - 1) and A(-2,7) B(-6,8)

That means: A(x = -2, y =7) B(x = -6, y = 8)

Thus the translation will be:

A'(-2 +3, 7-1) B'(-6+3, 8-1) = A'(1, 6) B'(-3, 7)

Therefore, the coordinate of the image is A'(1, 6) B'(-3, 7)

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -3x + 1 and passes through (2,3)?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+2\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-3x+1\to m_1=-3.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-3}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(2,\ 3).$

$\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=2,\ y=3:\\\\3=\dfrac{1}{3}(2)+b\\\\3=\dfrac{2}{3}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\b=2\dfrac{1}{3}$
