Answer: y = -2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1, that is , if is the slope of the first line and
is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then
= -1
The equation of the line given :
y = 1/2x - 1
comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form
y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept , it implies that
= 1/2
Therefore :
= -2
To find the equation of the line with slope -2 and passes through the point ( 3 , 4 ) we will use the formula
= m (
)
y - 4 = -2 ( x - 3 )
y - 4 = -2x + 6
y = -2x + 6 + 4
y = -2x + 10
The equation gives the height of the ball. That is, h is the height of the ball. t is the time. Since we are looking for the time at which the height is 8 (h=8), we need to set the equation equal to 8 and solve for t. We do this as follows:
This is a quadratic equation and as it is set equal to 0 we can solve it using the quadratic formula. That formula is:
You might recall seeing this as "x=..." but since our equation is in terms of t we use "t-=..."
In order to use the formula we need to identify a, b and c.
a = the coefficient (number in front of)
= 16.
b = the coefficient of t = -60
c = the constant (the number that is by itself) = 7
Substituting these into the quadratic formula gives us:
As we have "plus minus" (this is usually written in symbols with a plus sign over a minus sign) we split the equation in two and obtain:
and
So the height is 8 feet at t = 3.63 and t=.12
It should make sense that there are two times. The ball goes up, reaches it's highest height and then comes back down. As such the height will be 8 at some point on the way up and also at some point on the way down.
