Passing through (-1, -7) and perpendicular to the line with equation 4x + 5y = 31

1 answer:

4 0

4x + 5y = 31
5y = -4x + 31
y = -4/5x + 31/5...the slope here is -4/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is 5/4 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/4
(-1,-7)...x = -1 and y = -7
now we sub and find b, the y int
-7 = 5/4(-1) + b
-7 = -5/4 + b
-7 + 5/4 = b
-28/4 + 5/4 = b
- 23/4 = b

so ur perpendicular line will be : y = 5/4x - 23/4

What are the domain and range of this function?

RUDIKE [14]

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

Domain: all real numbers
Range: $y \ge 1$

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

Explanation:

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs. We can plug in any x value we want as the graph stretches on forever to the left and to the right. There aren't any division by zero errors or any issues like that to worry about, so that's why we don't kick out any x values from the domain.

The domain being all real numbers translates to the interval notation $(-\infty, \infty)$ which is basically saying $-\infty < x < \infty$
