The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to. Therefore, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of -1/2 which would be 2.
From there, you plug in the coordinate into x and y and solve for b;
5 = 2 * -3 + b
5 = -6 + b
b = 11
Therefore the equation is;
y = 2x + 11
Answer:
12.5cm
Step-by-step explanation:
By taking advantage of the definition of <em>exponential</em> and <em>logarithmic</em> function and their inherent relationship we conclude that the solution is x = 4 · ㏒ 3/(㏒ 7 - ㏒ 3).
<h3>How to solve an exponential equation by logarithms</h3>
<em>Exponential</em> and <em>logarithmic</em> functions are <em>trascendental</em> functions, these are, functions that cannot be described <em>algebraically</em>. In addition, <em>logarithmic</em> functions are the <em>inverse</em> form of <em>exponential</em> functions. In this question we take advantage of this fact to solve a given expression:
- 7ˣ = 3ˣ⁺⁴ Given
- ㏒ 7ˣ = ㏒ 3ˣ⁺⁴ Definition of logarithm
- x · ㏒ 7 = (x + 4) · ㏒ 3 ㏒ aᵇ = b · ㏒ a
- x · ㏒ 7 = x · ㏒ 3 + 4 · ㏒ 3 Distributive property
- x · (㏒ 7 - ㏒ 3) = 4 · ㏒ 3 Existence of additive inverse/Modulative and associative properties
- x = 4 · ㏒ 3/(㏒ 7 - ㏒ 3) Existence of multiplicative inverse/Modulative property/Result
By taking advantage of the definition of <em>exponential</em> and <em>logarithmic</em> function and their inherent relationship we conclude that the solution is x = 4 · ㏒ 3/(㏒ 7 - ㏒ 3).
