To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.
The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3
We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.
Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.
2 = 1/3(1) + b.
Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3
Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.
y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.
Your solution should be 5.
So your answer is: a = 5
Answer:
the graph of w passe through point (8,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you draw a line through points (-5, 7) and (3, -1) points (8,-6) also meets the line segment at the very bottom.
Answer:
See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
Table and graph are attached
Zeros are included in the graph
<u>Zero's are obtained:</u>
x = 0 ⇒ y = 8
y = 0 ⇒ Solving quadratic equation
- -2x² + 5x + 8 = 0
- x = (-5 ± √(25 + 2*4*8))/-4
- x = 3.608
- x = -1.108
So zeros are (0, 8), (3.608, 0) and (-1.108, 0)
