Put the other line in point slope form...(solve for y :D )
3y=15x+9
y=5x+3, so this line has a slope of 5
For a line to be perpendicular to another the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other...mathematically...
s1*s2=-1
So for the other line to be perpendicular to the first:
5m=-1, m=-1/5, thus our other line (so far) is:
y=b-x/5, now we can use the point (-8,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b":
-1=b-(-8)/5
-1=b+8/5
-1=b+1.6
b=-2.6
So the perpendicular line that contains the point (-8,-1) is:
y=-0.2x-2.6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your friend's distance from her starting point to your position is decreasing until she passes by you. This distance is D(t) = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t. We'll assume that your friend doesn't actually pass by you; she just gets closer and closer, from her initial 100 ft distance from you. Then:
D(t) = 40 ft = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t. Simplifying, we get:
-60 ft = -(20 ft / sec)t, and thus t = 3 sec.
Answer:
As the slope is -2, so the rate of change of the function is:
- rate of change of function = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is basically the rate of change of a function.
Let us take the two points from the graph
Taking the slope between two points to determine the rate of change of a function
As the slope is -2, so the rate of change of the function is:
- rate of change of function = -2
