Line y = 4/9 x - 2 has a slope of 4/9.
For perpendicular lines, the ploduct of the two slopes is -1. Thus the slope of the required line is -1/(4/9) = -9/4

Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = -9/4(x - 4)
y - 3 = -9/4 x + 9
y = -9/4 x + 9 + 3
y = -9/4 x + 12.

 Helping Hand line through point (a,b) with slope is given by
y-b=m(x-a)
slope of -9/4 is perpendicular to slope of 4/9, as y=4/9x-2 has slope 4/9. Our point is (4,3) therefore.
y-3=-9/4*(x-4)
y-3=-9/4x+9
y=-9/4x+9+3
y=-9/4x+12

For what value of the constant c is the function fcontinuous on (−[infinity], [infinity])?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

For $c=\frac{1}{7}$ the function f(x) is continuous on $(-\infty,\infty)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function

$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} cx^2+5x & \quad x$

For the function f(x) to be continuous on $(-\infty,\infty)$ it is sufficient to have continuity at x = 6, we need to ensure that as x approaches 6, the left and right limits match, this means that

$\lim_{x \to 6^{-} } f(x)=\lim_{x \to 6^{+} } f(x)=f(x)$ ,
