Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the slope of the given equation to the reciprocal  to get a perpendicular slope:

y = 1/2x --> -2x

y = -2x + b will be your current equation. To get b, you must insert the given information: (-1, -3)

-3 = -2 (-1) + b

Solve:

-3 = 2 + b

<u>-2   -2      </u>

-5 = b

Thus your equation would be y = -2x - 5.

1-1/2=2(y+4) what is the answer
Digiron [165]

Answer:

y = -3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 0.5 = 2(y+4)

0.5 = 2(y+4)

0.5 = 2(0.25)

0.25 - 4  = -3.75 = y

The graph of f(x) = 2x + 1 is shown below. Explain how to find the average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 5. (10 points) G
levacccp [35]
First we need to find f(2) and f(5), which are 5 and 11 respectively; all you have to do is plug in 2 and 5.

Then, we use the following formula:

(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a),

where b and a are the largest and smallest x values respectively.

Finally, we plug our values in:

(11-5)/(5-2)=6/3=2

In fact, the average rate of change of any linear function is just the coefficient of the x term. Hope this helped!
