Find the equation of the line through point (3,2) and perpendicular to 3x + 5y = 15

Answer:

y=5/3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put 3x+5y=15 into y=mx+b form

move 3x to the other side

5y=-3x+15

divide by 5

y=-3/5x+3

now, perendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal.

With our new equation we can automatically find the slope, which would be 5/3.

now, we need to find b

plug the points (3,2) into y=5/3x+b

2=5/3(3)+b

2=5+b

-3=b

so that means that our equation will now be

y=5/3x-3.

Hope this helps!

How is the derivative of a function related to the slop of the function?
statuscvo [17]

Hi there!

The derivative of the function is the slope of the function at a specific x-value, or its instantaneous rate of change.

For example, take the equation y = x².

Using the power rule, we get:

y' = 2x

If we plug in any x-value into this equation, we can find the slope of the function at any point.

Ex:

x = 0; 2(0) = slope of 0

x = 2; 2(2) = slope of 4

F - Irrational, -13.8
Because the negative sign is not inside of the radical, we can tell that the number is being multiplied by the negative. Thus, do the radical equation first, get the answer 13.8202... and multiply by -1 to get the answer. Also, it is irrational because it is not a perfect square.
