Answer:  

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is -\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

Solve for "y" from the equation of the line 2x - 3y - 5 = 0:

2x - 3y - 5 = 0\\\\-3y=-2x+5\\\\y=\frac{-2}{-3}x+\frac{5}{-3}\\\\y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}

You can observe that the slope of this line is:

m=\frac{2}{3}

By definition, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal, then, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the give line, is

m=-\frac{3}{2}

What are the features of the parabola modeled by the equation f(x) = x2 - 114x ?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Answers are in bold type

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^{2} -144x

The parabola opens up, so has a minimum at the vertex.

Let (h, k) be the vertex

h = -b/2a = - (-144)/2(1) = 57

k = 57^2 - 144(57) = 3249 - 6498 = -3249

Therefore, the vertex is (57, -3249)

The minimum value is -3249

The domain is the set of real numbers.  

The  range = {y | y ≥ -3249}

The function decreases when -∞ < x < 57  and increases when 57 > x > ∞

The x - intercepts:  x^{2} -144x = 0

                                x(x - 114x) = 0

                                x = 0 or x = 114

x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (0, 114)

When x = 0, then we get the y-intercept.  So, 0^2 - 114(0) = 0

y-intercept is (0, 0)
