Answer:
y = 3/2 x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2/3 x + 5; slope = -2/3
Perpendicular line, slope is reciprocal and opposite so slope of the line that is perpendicular to the y = -2/3 x + 5 is 3/2
Passes through (8,1)
Equation
y -1 = 3/2 (x - 8)
y - 1 = 3/2 x - 12
y = 3/2 x - 11
Check the discriminant (always a good idea).
b^2 - 4ac
b = -19
c = -15
a = 10
(-19)^2 - 4(10)(-15)
361 + 600
961
Yes it can be factored, but if you like, you could use the quadratic formula.
x = [- (-19) +/- sqrt(961)]/(2 * 10)
x = [19 +/- 31 ] / 20
x = (19 + 31/20
x = (50)/20
x = 5/2
x = [19 - 31] / 20
x = [- 12]/20
x = -3/5
Getting the factors is a little tricky.
(x - 5/2)(x + 3/5) = 0
The first factor is found by putting
x - 5/2 in that form and multiplying through by 2
1/2 (2x - 5) The 1/2 comes from multiplying by 2.
The second factor is
1/5 (5x + 3)
So the equation will look like
1/2(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 If you multiply by 2 you get
(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 and now multiply by 5 you get
(2x - 5) (5x + 3)
Check
2x*5x - 25x + 6x - 15
10x^2 - 19x - 15 = 0
So everything works out.
step 1
Find out the slope WX
W(2,-3) and X(-4,9)
m=(9+3)/(-4-2)
m=12/-6
m=-2
step 2
Find out the slope YZ
Y(5,y) and Z(-1,1)
m=(1-y)/(-1-5)
m=(1-y)/-6
m=(y-1)/6
step 3
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular
then
their slopes are negative reciprocal
that means
(y-1)/6=1/2 -----> because the negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2
solve for y
2y-2=6
2y=6+2
2y=8
<h2>y=4</h2>
The answer is B. 35x2 + 34x + 8
