Answer:
Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 1 - 2x the slope is -2 the value of the x term.
So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2) is 1/2.
Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .
y = mx + b
-1 = 1/2(2) + b solve for "b", the y-intersect
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x is y = 1/2x - 2
Yes it is also a 50% decrease.
The formula is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
y = 0x + b
7 = (-6)0 + b
7 = 0 + b
b = 7
y = +7
Answer:
It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter than the original weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use exponential decay formula:
A = P (1-r)t
A = amount decreased to
P = original amount
r = rate of decrease
t = time
6 ≥ 12 (1-0.10)t divide both sides by 12
0.5 ≥ (0.9)t take log of both sides
log (0.5) ≥ log (0.9)t power rule of logs lets the exponent t drop to front of log to become a factor
log (0.5) ≥ t log(0.9) divide both sides by log(0.9) which is negative so reverse the inequality sign
log (0.5) / log (0.9) ≤ t use calculator
6.57 ≤ t
It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter that original weight.
check:
12 (0.9)7≈ 5.73
12 (0.9)6 ≈ 6.37
