if you dont want to help just say so
lol, why wont i?
i've doing that all this time. :p
whyd you tell me to chill?
lol, thts to calm down!
probably because you used caps to ask for help
Alan are u same from the movie Hangover?
use your inside internet voice.
hmm, right! ^ ^
thats the only way ppl will help me on here
can you help me or not??
Lol, what if we dont?? then?
then ill try yo find someone else..but I would love for you to help me
sooo you need negative reciprecals. Hold on I forgot how to do this
ok..
LOl, If u want me to help, i will surely! :)
saifoo. Help lol. I wanna know how to do this too!
alright, then i will do this step by stel.
step*
the slope of a perp line follow this formula: \[\Large m_1 * m_2 = -1\] now insert the values.. the slope for the real line is: -9/2 so. \[\frac{-9}{2} *m_2 = -1\] \[m_2 = \frac92\] so here we have the slope for that.
the Y intercept is the same right?
now, insert this in y=mx +b \[4 = \frac{9*1}{2} + b \]\[b = \frac{-1}{2}\] so now u have the y intercpt too.
I guess I forgot how to use y=mx + b. I'm sensing with my powers that the 4 is from his given point, and so the 1 too must be from his given point. So you're only adding the 9/2 and + b?
now, just insert the slope & y-intercpt: \[y = \frac{-9x}{2} -\frac{1}{2}\] finally take the lcm and the cross multiply.. finally your equation will look like: \[\Huge 2y = -9x - 1\]
what. How did you get -1/2 for b >.>
the answers are either: a. 9x-2y=1 b.9x+2y=17 c.2x-9y=-34 d.2x+9y=38
i inserted the slope and the new cordinates.. to find the y-intercpt.
A for apple is the answer.
okee doke.. thanx!
welkx. i never did such LONG working in my 2mnths here!
wait you inserted 9/2... and the coordinates 4 for y and 1 for x lol so how did you get -1/2
lol, i did the working there.. u can see that.
I can see you multiplying through by 2 to get 8 on the left and 9 on the right, subtract to get b = 1
huh?
OH
4-4.5 = -1/2. this is why I fail at math
SAIFOO OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD WHAT IS THE FOUR STEP METHOD TO INVERSE A FUNCTION????
LOL.
:3 tell meNAOW
sorry, where u got stuck?
>.> I'm working on a different question. Don't worry I got the answer right here.
O cool. the last step i do is chng the y to x.
isn't that the first step... you change back to y at the end
