Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4. (2 points)

1 answer:

7 0

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

x = 4 has a slope of undefined since it is a vertical line.

It's undefined because 1/0 = undefined. We can't divide by 0.

The opposite reciprical of 1/0 is -0/1, which equals to 0.

Any line with a slope of 0 is:

y = 0x + b
y = b

This line goes through the point of (3, 5).

Since the equation starts with y = something, we have to use the y-value of the point it goes through. The point is in the form of (x, y).

5 is in the y-value.

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = 5.

An exponentially function is expressed in the form y = axb^x . The relation represents a growth when _ and a decay when _ .

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The relation represents a growth when b>1 and a decay when 0<b<1

Step-by-step explanation:

Any function in the form $f(x)= a(b^x)$ , where a > 0, b > 0 and b not equal to 1 is called an exponential function with base b. If 0 1 is an example of exponential growth. An exponential function is expressed in the form $y=a(b^x)$ The relation represents a growth when b >1 and a decay when 0<b<1.
