Avani wrote the linear equation y = 5x + 4. Then, she wrote the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 5x+ 4 and that passes through (15,–2). If her new equation is in the form , what is the value of b?
- m is the slope
- b is the y-intercept
The equation of a line that is perpendicular to another line always has the opposite reciprocal slope. In the original equation, the slope is 5. The opposite of 5, which refers to the sign, is -5. The reciprocal of -5 is -1/5. That means the slope of the new line is -1/5.
The perpendicular line:
- Has a slope of
- Passes through the point (15, -2)
To find the equation of a line that passes through a specific point, you need to use slope-intercept form.
- y₁ is the y-value of the point
- m is the slope
- x₁ is the x-value of the point
y₁ is -2, m is -1/5, and x₁ is 15.
Substitute the known values into the equation:
Open the parentheses and distribute:
The new equation will be:
Lastly, you need to move the positive 2 to the other side to keep it in y = mx + b form.
The equation of the perpendicular line is:
The value of b is 1.
Answer:
$1,577.74
Step-by-step explanation:
You are going to want to use the continuous compound interest formula, which is shown below.
<em>A = total </em>
<em>P = principal amount </em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal) </em>
<em>t = time (years) </em>
<em />
First change 3% to its decimal form:
3% -> -> 0.03
Next, we can plug in the values into the equation:
The last step is to subtract 8,000 from 9,577.74:
The total interest earned is $1,577.74
