Hi there!

To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18

Hope this helps!

Find the domain of the following expression 15 - √(x+2)

ipn [44]

Answer:

[-2, ∞]

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - √(x+2)

domain is any value as long as (x+2) is not-negative, since √ of a negative number has no Real solution.

x+2 ≥ 0 ⇒ x ≥ -2

What is the slope of (4,1) and (6,-1)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract the y-values (-1-1=-2) then subtract the x-values (6-4=2) then divide the sum of the y-values by the sum of the x-values

$\frac{-2}{2}$ which simplifies to a slope of -1
