Answer:
y +2 = 2(x +3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation in point-slope form for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...
y -k = m(x -h)
The slope of your given line is the coefficient of x, -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-1/2) = 2. So, you have m = 2, (h, k) = (-3, -2), and your desired equation is ...
y -(-2) = 2(x -(-3)) . . . . . . which can be simplified to ...
y +2 = 2(x +3)
Answer: the x-intercept is (-10,0), the y-intercept is (0,45/2)
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the function describing the line.
From the table, it is obvious that the y values increase by 9 every increase of 4 of the x values. So, the slope is 9/4 and the function looks like this:
with the y-intercept (or bias) b still unknown. This can be determined by using one of the point from the table, like so:
The above function form makes it easy to read off the y-intercept, which is (0,45/2) or (0,22.5). The x-intercept is obtained by setting y = 0 and solving for x:
The x-intercept is (-10,0)
