Y=-1/2x+8
perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2
y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8
We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:
We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:
Replacing in the formula for the area we get:
Now we use the distributive law:
Answer:
The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700
Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:
p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)
p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000
p = 700t - 1397300
