Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
When a line is perpendicular to another line, its slope is the negative reciprocal to that slope.
From this information, we already know that the slope of our new line is -1/2, because -1/2 is the negative reciprocal to 2 (which is the slope of the original line).
y = -1/2x + b
Because the point (-5,3) is given, we can simply plug the x and y coordinates into our incomplete equation.
3 = -1/2(-5) + b
3=2.5 + b
b = 0.5
ANSWER: y = -1/2x + 0.5
THE GRAPH IS LINKED; RED LINE IS y=2x-3 AND BLUE LINE IS y=-1/2x + 0.5
1) 8 + 4 = -5 + 7
12 = 2
FALSE
2) y = -11x + 4
(0, -7): -7 = -11(0) + 4 ⇒ -7 = 0 + 4 ⇒ -7 = 4 False
(-1, -7): -7 = -11(-1) + 4 ⇒ -7 = 11 + 4 ⇒ -7 = 15 False
(1, -7): -7 = -11(1) + 4 ⇒ -7 = -11 + 4 ⇒ -7 = -7 True
(2, 26): 26 = -11(2) + 4 ⇒ 26 = -22 + 4 ⇒ 26 = -18 False
Answer: C
3) Input Output
0 0
<u> 1 </u> 3
2 <u> 6 </u>
3 9
<u> 4 </u> <u> 12 </u>
5 15
6 <u> 18 </u>
Rule: input is being added by 1, output is 3 times x
4) c = 65h
5) 2x = -6
x = -3
6) 8j - 5 + j = 67
9j - 5 = 67 <em>added like terms (8j + j)</em>
<u> +5</u> <u>+5 </u>
9j = 72
j = 8
7) y = mx + b
<u> -b</u> <u> -b </u>
y - b = mx
