Write an equation of a line that goes through the point (-9, 3), and is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 5

To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.

3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.

the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.

the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.

3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6

substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6

the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.

Triss [41]

Answer:

c. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

Average rate of change

This is calculated as:

Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Where

(a,b) = (2,4)

So, we have:

Rate = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{4 - 2}

Rate = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{2}

Using the attached graph, we have:

f(2) = 4

f(4) = 16

So, we have:

Rate = \frac{16- 4}{2}

Rate = \frac{12}{2}

Rate = 6
