The slope of a line perpendicular to line B would -1/2. This is because the slope of line B is 2 and whenever you’re finding a perpendicular slope you find the reciprocal of the original one. So the reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

Answer:

m = -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is find the slope of line B.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (5 - (-5)) / (3 - (-1))

m = 10 / 4

m = 2 1/2 or 5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to line B will be the negative reciprocal of 5/2. Just flip the numerator and the denominator and add a minus sign:

5/2 → -2/5

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$
