Answer:

\frac{12}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line containing points (5,4) and (-7,9).  To find the slope use the formula \frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.  Putting those values in, you have

\frac{9-4}{-7-5}

Simplify

\frac{5}{-12}

-\frac{5}{12}

Then, to find the slope of the line perpendicular to that, find the negative reciprocal.  

\frac{12}{5}

Best Method using system of equations<br><br><br> x=4y+8<br> 2x-8y=-3
Mkey [24]
In this case, since one equation is in the form of x=, substitution would be best for this problem.  Simply plug in 4y + 8 in place of x in the second equation, solve for y, then plug that value into the first equation to find x.

The population of a city is growing at an average rate of 3% per year in 1990 the population was 45 000.
Nonamiya [84]
This is an exponential growth/decay problem...

F=Ir^t, F=final value, I=initial value, r=rate, t=time, in this case:

F=I(1.03)^t  and they just want to know when F=2I so

2=1.03^t  take natural log of both sides...

ln2=t*ln1.03

t=ln2/(ln1.03)

t≈23.45

So it will take approximately 23.45 years for the population to double..

1990+23.45=2013.45

So during the year of 2013 the population will have double from its 1990 level.
