Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In going from (5, 5) to (10, 8), x (the run) increases by 5 and y (the rise) increases by 3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = 3/5.
In going from (1, 13) to (4, 8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = -5/3
Because these results are negative reciprocals of one another, the two lines are PERPENDICULAR to one another.
Answer:
(0 , -a²)
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent at x = a and x = -a
y = x² (a , a²) and (-a , a²) must be on the curve and tangent to curve
gradient dy/dx = 2x
slope (m) at x = a is <u>2a</u> and slope (m') at x=-a is<u> -2a</u>
line1: (y - a²) / (x - a) = 2a
y - a² = 2a (x - a) y = 2ax - a² ... (1)
line2: (y - a²) / (x + a) = - 2a y = -2ax- a² ... (2)
(1) - (2): 4ax = 0 a≠0 x = 0
y = - a²
I wish I did it right, or ....
Answer:
the slope should be going from top left to bottom right not bottom left to top right
