Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x - 3

y = 1/2x - 3/2

gradient = 1/2

perpendicular gradient = negative reciprocal = -2

y = -2x + c

(-3) = -2(-1) + c

-3 = 2 + c

-5 = c

Answer:

<u>y = -x/2 - 7/2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the line (current) in y = mx + c</u>

  • 2y = x - 3
  • y = x/2 - 3/2

The slope of a perpendicular line has to be -ve to the current line.

⇒ m' = -1/2

To find the y-intercept, take the x-coordinate to be 0 and substitute in the equation :

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y + 3 = -1/2 (0 + 1) [Also using the point (-1, -3) to make sure line crosses it]

y + 3 = -1/2

y = -7/2

Therefore, the new equation is :

  • <u>y = -x/2 - 7/2</u>

The function f(x) varies inversely with x and f(x)=8 when x=3
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

In this problem we have

For x=3 -----> f(x)=8

so

Find the value of k

f(x)*x=k

substitute the value of x and f(x)

8*3=k

k=24

therefore

the equation is equal to

f(x)=24/x

For x=2 -------> substitute in the equation and find the value of f(x)

f(x)=24/2=12
