Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y=1/5x-11 passing through the point (0,-8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line function is always the factor of x.

in our case here : 1/5

it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.

in our case that means y increases by 1 for every increase of x by 5.

now, the perpendicular slope simply changes x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

so, here the perpendicular slope is : -5/1 = -5

the line function looks therefore like

y = -5x + b

b is the y-intercept, and we get it by using the coordinates of the point for x and y :

-8 = -5×0 + b = b

so, the full line function is

y = -5x - 8

The height of a hill, h(x), in a painting can be written as a
matrenka [14]

Answer:

First option: 6\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "The height of a hill, h(x), in a painting can be written as a function of x, the distance from the left side of the painting. Both h(x) and x are measured in inches h(x) = -\frac{1}{5}(x)(x -13). What is the height of the hill in the painting 3 inches from the left side of the picture?</h3>

You have the following function provided in the exercise:

h(x) = -\frac{1}{5}(x)(x -13)

You know that h(x) represents the height of the hill (in inches) and "x" represents the distance from the left side of the painting (in inches)

Knowing that you can determine that, if the painting 3 inches from the left side of the picture, the value of "x" is the following:

x=3

Therefore, you need to find the value of   h(x) when  x=3 in order to solve this exercise.  

So, the next step is to substitute  x=3 into the function:

h(x) = -\frac{1}{5}(3)(3 -13)

And finally, you must evaluate in order to find h(3).

You get that this is:

h(3) = -\frac{1}{5}(3)(-10)\\\\h(3) = -\frac{1}{5}(-30)\\\\h(3)=6

2x – бу = 12<br> -5x - 15 = -30
erastova [34]

Answer:

x=7 and y= 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have -5x - 15 = -30 <=> x + 3 = 10

                                            x= 7

if x=7

so 2×7 - 6y = 12 <=> 14 - 12 = 6×y

                                 2 = 6y

                                 y= 2/6 = 1/3
