The slope of the line MN where M (9,6) and N (1,4) can be obtained by obtaining the rate of the rise over the run. This is shown below:
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 6)/(1 - 9) = (-2)/(-8)
m1 = 1/4
The slope of the line perpendicular to line MN can be obtained by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of line MN.
m1 = 1/4
m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4
Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line MN is -4.
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When x=-9, y=2. So, f(-9)=2.
Multiply the equation 2x+7y=-1 by -2
add to othe equaiton
4x-3y=-19
<u>-4x-14y=2 +</u>
0x-17y=-17
-17y=-17
divide both sides by -17
y=1
sub back
2x+7y=-1
2x+7(1)=-1
2x+7=-1
minus 7 from both sides
2x=-8
divide both sides by 2
x=-4
x=-4
y=1
(x,y) is normal form
(-4,1) is answer
I believe that the a value is 2
