Hey there! 

First, find the slope of the actual original pair of points.
The slope formula is:

m =  \frac{ y_{2} -  y_{1} }{ x_{2} -  x_{1} }

So now, substitute the points in, whichever order you substitute the points into the equation doesn't matter, as long as the ones substituted in with the same subscript number.

m = \frac{ -7 - 4 }{ -2 - 8 }\

Once you subtract, you get:

m = \frac{-11 }{ -10 }

So the slope is 11/10.

A line that is parallel to another has the exact same slope that that another line has.

So therefore the line that is parallel has a slope of 11/10.

Perpendicular is another story. You take the reciprocal of the slope of the other line, and then change the sign before it: ex: negative would become positive.

So therefore the line that is perpendicular has a slope of -10/11.

DedPeter [7]
14 times 0.999 blank 14
probably it is a relation symbol
=
>
<
<u>>
<</u>

so we know that x times 1=x
therefor
x times (less than 1)<x
0.999 is less than 1
0.999<1
therefor
14 times 0.999<14

blank is <

The number of liver transplants performed in a particular country in year x is approximated by f left parenthesis x right parent
Elena L [17]
(a). The function is written as: f(x) = -245.4 + 2327lnx

First, let's find the number of years between 1995 and 2025.
Number of years = 2025 - 1995 = 30
Since x = 5 represents the base year 1995, that mean we have to take x = 35.

f(35) = -245.4 + 2327ln(35) = <em>3,500 transplants by 2025</em>

(b). The rate of change is determined through differential calculus.

f'(x) = 2327(1/x) = 2327/x
f'(35) = 2327/35 = 66.5

<em>Thus, the rate of change of transplants is 66.5 per year.</em>
