Answer:
y = x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - x ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - , c = 0
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
=
, then
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 8) into the partial equation
- 8 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 8 - 4 = - 12
y = x - 12 ← equation of perpendicular line
Answer:
You can see the graph below.
To answer the question, you need to draw a vertical line from x = 12h up, until the line meets with the line.
Once the line meets with the line, draw a horizontal line from that point, and the value where this line intersects with the y-axis will be the distance from home after 12 hours.
The graph is kinda hard to read because the line is really steep, the green line is the equation y = 40*x
the red line is a line at x = 12
The black dashed line is the horizontal line that intersects with the y-axis.
In the graph, you can see that the dashed line intersects the y-axis at around y = 475.
Then a good estimate is that the distance after 12 hours is 475 (miles).
Now, we can compare this with the direct calculation, just replace x by 12 in the given line:
y = 40*12 = 480.
So our estimation is really accurate.
