Given:
A line passes through (1,-2) and is perpendicular to .
To find:
The equation of that line.
Solution:
We have, equation of perpendicular line.
Slope of this line is
Product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1.
Now, slope of required line is and it passes through (1,-2). So, the equation of line is
where, m is slope.
Therefore, the equation of required line is .
To show that the ratio is not constant for the function
we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here
represents
.
To find the counter examples here, I will use the values and
. For
, the equation tells us that the output is
. For this value of
the point is point is
. The ratio
. For the
,
. For this value of
the point is
. The ratio
. Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.
