Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation
m=slope

so get into y=mx+b form
-x+2y=4
solve for y
add x both sides
2y=x+4
divide by 2 both sides
y=(1/2)x+2
the slope is 1/2

perppendicular line slope multiplies to -1
1/2 times what=-1
times 2/1 both sides
what=-2/1=-2

y=-2x+b
find b
we are given a point is (-2,1)
when x=-2, y=1
1=-2(-2)+b
1=4+b
minus 3 both sides
-3=b

so the equation is
y=-2x-3

your teacher might want it in standard form (ax+by=c) so
add 2x both sides
2x+y=-3 is an equation


so y=-2x-3 is correct (slope intercept form)
2x+y=-3 is also correct (standard form)

there are 1024 players in a tennis tournament in each round half of the players are eliminated which function can be used to fin
jonny [76]

Answer: f(x) = 1,024(0.50)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply a decreasing rate formula:

f(x)= P (1 - r) ^x

Where:  

p = original number of players

r = decreasing rate (decimal form, since half of the players are eliminated the percent decrease is 50%)

x = rounds  

f(x) = number of players after x rounds

Replacing with the values given:

f(x) = 1,024(1-50/100)^x

f(x) = 1,024(1-0.5)^x

f(x) = 1,024(0.5)^x
