Answer:

5/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is rise/run.

If you graph this, the two points make a line that slopes downwards. The higher point is in the negative axis, which means that the run will be negative.

you rise up 15 points from the first point (1,-6) to get to the same level as the second point. (-8,9). This is your rise.

You go over to the other point, this is your run. The run is -9.

15/-9

we can simplify  this fraction.

5/-3 is your final answer.

Consider the geometric series S(x)=1+2(x−3)+4(x−3)^2+8(x−3)^3+⋯
Giving your answer as an interval, find all values of x for which the series converges.
Now assuming that x is in your interval above, find a simple formula for S(x).

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to y=-3x+4?
inessss [21]

The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

To do the opposite, take the original slope (-3) and change the sign (3).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (3) and flip it as a fraction (1/3).

This gives us a new slope of 1/3.
