PLZZZZ HELP The Lakeview city council is considering two different plans to help reduce the amount of pollution in the city. Pla

n Alpha estimates that it can reduce the pollution following the equation y=-7x+900. Plan Foxtrot estimates it can reduce the pollution following the equation y=-17x+900. 1. Explain why the two equations have the same y-intercept. 2. Which plan would reduce the amount of pollution the most? 3. Which plan should the city council should choose? Justify your answer.

1. The two equations follow the slope-intercept form which y=mx + b. They have the same y-intercept which is equal to 900.

2. Suppose x= 10
    Plan Alpha: y=-7x+900=-7(10)+900=830
    Plan Foxtrot: y = -17x+900 = -17(10)+900=730
    
    Between the 2 plans, the lower value is 730. Plan Foxtrot is better for reduction of pollution.

3. The city council should choose Plan Foxtrot because the reduction of pollution is much greater. Their goal would be reached faster if they go with faster reduction of pollution.

What would be a line perpendicular to (2,3) (5,5)?
ladessa [460]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3x + 2y = 0   or   y = -3/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between a line and its perpendicular is that their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. So, the thing you need to know about the line through the two given points is its slope. That is found using the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . where the two give points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Putting your point coordinates in this formula gives ...

  m = (5 -3)/(5 -2) = 2/3

Then the perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal:

  slope of perpendicular = -1/m = -1/(2/3) = -3/2

You have not said whether the perpendicular line must meet any other requirement, so the simplest one we can write is ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

  y = -3/2x . . . . . . has a y-intercept of 0 (goes through the origin)

Multiplying by 2 and adding 3x gives ...

  3x + 2y = 0 . . . . . standard form equation

_____

<em>Comment on the attachment</em>

The geometry program I used to create the attachment wrote the equation of the line through the given points as ...

 2x -3y = -5 . . . . . standard form equation

The equation of a perpendicular line can be created from this form by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Simply swapping the coefficients would give ...

  -3x +2y = <something>

In standard form, we want the leading coefficient to be positive, so we can choose to negate the x-coefficient. The <something> can be zero to make the line go through the origin.

  3x +2y = 0 . . . . . a perpendicular in standard form

__

If you need to have the line go through a particular point, you can determine the constant value (on the right of the = sign) by putting the point coordinates in for x and y.

_____

Method summary:

  • find the slope of the given line
  • determine its opposite reciprocal to find the slope of the perpendicular line
  • use that new slope in an appropriate form to have the line go where you want it to go. (Point-Slope Form is often useful)
