Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(3, -4)=(x,y)\\y=3x+2\\\\m_1 =3\\In\: perpendicular\: line ;\\\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{m_1} \\m_2 = \frac{-1}{3} \\m_2 = -1/3\\\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\\\-4 = -\frac{1}{3} (3) + b\\-4 = -1 +b\\-4+1 =b\\-3 =b\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\y =-\frac{1}{3}x -3$

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities? {y<−3x−2y y≤x−2

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In each inequality we have the equation of a line.

The first step in solving this problem is to identify each line in the figures.

To do this, we willient your cut points.

y = x-2

We do y = 0

0 = x-2

x = 2. This line cuts the x-axis at x = 2.

Now we do x = 0

y = -2.

This line cuts the y-axis in y = -2.

Now we can identify this line in the figure.

The inequality is:

y≤x - 2

Then the region that represents this inequality are all the points below the line y = x-2 and also those that belong to the line.

Try for example the point (0, -4) that is below this line.

-4≤0-2

-4≤-2. The inequality is met.

We do the same for the other line:

y<-3x - 2

y = -3x-2.

The cut points are:

2 = -3x

x = -2 / 3

y = -2

Locate in the graphs the line that meets these characteristics.

The region understood by this inequality are all points below the line

y = -3x-2 and which, in turn, are below the line y = x-2.

Once again, the point (-4.0) complies with both inequalities.

Identify these characteristics in the options, and you will see that the correct option is the first

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify.

f(-2.4) = -1

f(-1.9) = -8

Step 2: Differentiate

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.

[Derivative] Set up [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$
Substitute in coordinates: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{-8 - -1}{-1.9 - -2.4}$
Evaluate: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx -14$
