What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is ax by=c?

Mathematics

Answer:

b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite sign and reciprocals (flipped over).

In the equation

ax + by = c,

the slope of the line is

-a/b

If you haven't memorized this pattern yet, you can calculate it by solving ax+by=c for y.

by = -ax +c

y = -a/b x + c/b

The slope is -a/b

So a perpendicular line would be opposite sign and flipped, b/a

The table below represents the displacement of a bird from its nest as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from nest
zubka84 [21]
Answer: See each part below.

Part A: The y-intercept is the first value, or 12. That means that they bird is 12 miles from its nest when the time started.

Part B: The average rate of change is the slope. From 1 to 3 hours, the bird went from 20 to 36 or 16 miles. 16 miles in 2 hours is the same as 8 miles in 1 hour.

Part C: To find the extent of the domain, write and solve the following equation for 172 miles.
172 = 8x + 12
160 = 8x 
20 = x

The domain will go up to 20 hours.

Converting Explicit formula to Recursive formula.
Kruka [31]
The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)

where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference

The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on

The recursive step would be 
a(n) = a(n-1)-5

So that's why the answer is choice C
