The linear equation for given condition is y = -0.6x+133.

As given in the question,

Let y represents amount of sweeter consumed

And x represents number of years

Linear equation with x as independent variable and y as dependent variable is equal to y = mx + b

m = Slope

b = y-intercept

Each year amount decrease by 0.6pounds

Therefore, m = -0.6

Starting year is 1990

⇒ x=0

⇒ 133 = -0.6 (0) + b

⇒ b= 133

Therefore, linear equation for given situation is  y = -0.6x +133.

The complete question is :

The USDA reported that in 1990 each person in the united states consumed an average of 133 pounds of natural sweeteners. they also claim that this amount has decreased by about 0.6 pounds each year.

write a linear equation that relates years since 1990 to the average consumption of natural sweeteners. Define your variables.

Determine the missing information in the paragraph proof.
dmitriy555 [2]

The information given is sufficient  for this proof .

Slope of a line passing through   x1 ,y1) and ( x2,y2) is given  by the formula :

            M =   ( y2 - y1)/ ( x2-x1)

________________________________


Let us start finding the slope of line  PQ  

the  given points are  ( a,b) and ( c,d)  

using the slope formula we get :

slope of line PQ =    m=   ( d-b) /( c-a)


Let us now try finidng slope of the another line  P'Q'  

It is passing through ( -b ,a)  and (-d,c)

using the  formula we get slope of P'Q' = m' =   ( c-a) /( -d -  -b)

                                                                       m'=   ( c-a) /( -d+b)

                                                                        m'=   ( c-a) / -( b-d Let us find the product of  m and m'  :

   ( d-b  )    *     ( c-a)

-----------         ------------                  =     -1

(c-a)            - ( b-d)


Because we got product of m and m'  = -1   hence proved   product of perpendicular lines are  negative reciprocal of each other .
