A) part of it is decreasing, part of it is increasing.
Going left-to-right, the downhill/negative slope is the decreasing portion (x<-1) and the uphill/positive slope is the increasing portion (x>-1).
B) The x-intercepts are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis: (2,0) and (-4,0).
C: The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis: (0,-2).
D: There is no absolute maximum. The graph keeps going up forever.
E: The absolute minimum <u>point</u> is at that bottom, at (-1, -3). The absolute minimum <u>value</u> is -3, since that's the lowest y-value used.
If a coordinate has a negative x-coordinate and its y-coordinate is positive, then the point is on the 2nd quadrant.
That means that the point is left of the origin and above it.
Answer would be a (-1, ten-thirds) :)
Y = -2/3x + 7.....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All tht means is take the original slope, flip it, and change the sign. So we take -2/3....flip it making it -3/2.....change the sign making it 3/2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(-5,6)....x = -5 and y = 6
now sub and find b, the y int
6 = 3/2(-5) + b
6 = -15/2 + b
6 + 15/2 = b
12/2 + 15/2 = b
27/2 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x + 27/2 <==
Leslie did. If you multiply 4/5 by two, you get 8/10. 8/10 is greater than 7/10.
