Write the equation of a line that passws through the point (1,7) and is perpendicular to y=1/2x-5

Mathematics

Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Answer:

y=-2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

For one line to be perpendicular to another, their slopes must multiply to -1. So, we really want the line with slope $-1/(1/2)$ = -2$ that passes through the point (1, 7).

Recall the point-slope form of a line. If you have a point $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and a slope m, the line through that point with the given slope is $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$. Plugging in our given point and slope gives our line: y-7=-2(x-1)(point-slope form).

We can convert this line to slope-intercept form, the most common form by expanding the right side and adding 7 to get y by itself:

y-7=-2x+2

y=-2x+5

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:​
raketka [301]

Answer:

B) (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 7

y = 3x - 8

3x - 8 = -2x + 7

combine like terms:

5x = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 3

y = 3(3) - 8 = 1

PLEASE HELP? IS THIS RIGHT OR NOT????
zepelin [54]
The answer is actually D. The limit on the left side is computing the derivative at x = a. The right side value of 7 tells us that f ' (a) = 7
