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>

In the equation y=mx+b, what does the x stand for? And, in the equation y=3x+6 how would I solve for y?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

x stays x in both equations so x stands for x

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+6

you can put this into a graphing caculator or draw it yourself.

6 is the y value when x equals 0. and the 3 represents the slope so then it is solved for any y value

A certain pipe can be used to fill a pool with water in 2 hours. A second pipe can be used to fill the pool in 4 hours. How long
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Pipe 1 alone:

fills the pool in 2 hours

in 1 hour, it fills 1/2 of the pool

Pipe 2 alone:

fills the pool in 4 hours

in 1 hour, it fills 1/4 of the pool

Pipe 1 and Pipe 2 working together:

fill the pool in x hours

in 1 hour, they fill 1/x of the pool

Working together, in 1 hour the two pipes fill 1/2 + 1/4 of the pool.

Working together, in 1 hour the two pipes fill 1/x of the pool.

Therefore,

1/2 + 1/4 = 1/x

2/4 + 1/4 = 1/x

3/4 = 1/x

x = 4/3

x = 1 1/3

Answer: 1 1/3 hours
