An equation written in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is a constant equal to the slope. Parallel lines have the same slope. So a line parallel to y=-2x+3 is y=-2x+5. Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. So a line perpendicular to y=-2x+3 is y=1/2x+7. y=2x-1 is neither parallel of perpendicular to y=-2x+3.
The answer to the question
A isosceles triangle is a triangle who has two sides of the same length
Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
