Answer:
y = 5/3x +8
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given slope is -3/5, so the perpendicular slope is ...
-1/(-3/5) = 5/3
That and the given y-intercept can be put into the slope-intercept equation ...
y = mx + b . . . . . line of slope m and y-intercept b
y = 5/3x + 8
The x intercept is that point at which curve cross the x axis and y intercept is the point at whcih curve intersect y axis.
As the curve cross the x axis at point (-1.2,0) and cross the y axis at (-0.7,0).
So x intercept is -1.2 and y intercept is -0.7.
Let's rearrange the equation x + y = 6 to slope-intercept form. Solve for y.
x + y = 6
To get the y variable on the left-hand side alone, subtract x from each side.
x + y - x = 6 - x
y = 6 - x
Rearrange the right-hand side.
y = -x + 6
Now we have it in the slope-intercept form. And to find the slope, we look at the coefficient of x. But there is no coefficient of the -x term!
In all reality, there is. However, it's just 1. -1x is the same thing as -x. We don't show the 1 because it has no effect.
So, -1 is the slope.
|1/5x|
1/5 stretches the function
5 would compress the function
