Answer: Choice D

(a-e)/f

=======================================

Explanation:

Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.

Find the slope of line DB to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-f)/(a-e)

m = -f/(a-e)

This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.

Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.

What are the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?
Travka [436]
In order to determine the vertex of this, you can complete the square.  To do that, first set the equation equal to 0, then move the -35 over to the other side by adding.  That gives us x^{2} -2x=35.  Now we can complete the square.  Do this by taking half of the linear term, squaring it, and adding it in to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  So we add 1 to both sides, creating something that looks like this: x^{2} -2x+1=35+1.  We will do the math on the right and get 36, and the left will be expressed as the perfect square binomial we created by doing this whole process.  (x-1)^2=36.  Now move the 36 over by subtraction and set it back to equal y and your vertex is apparent.  It is (1, -36).  You find the x-intercepts when y = 0.  That means you need to set your original equation equal to zero and factor it.  The easiest, surest way to do this is to use the quadratic formula.  Doing that gives us x values of 7 and -5.  And you're done!

Consider the scatter plot.
Leno4ka [110]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is: The y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given a scatter plot with a best fit line as shown on the given graph.

The equation of the best fit line is given by:

y = 0.75x + 5

So with the help of the equation and by looking at the given graph, we can conclude about the representation of the y intercept that the the y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.

Since the distance shown on the y axis is already 5 when the time started at 0 minutes.
