Answer:
y = -x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint of the line:
x = (x1 + x2)/2 = (-8 + -4)/2 = -12/2 = -6
y = (y1 + y2)/2 = (-5 + 1)/2 = -4/2 = -2
so midpoint is (-6,-2)
Slope of the line: Slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1 - -5)/(-4 - -8) = (-1 + 5)/(-4 + 8) = 4/4 = 1
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another
so slope of the perpendicular line is -1/1 is -1
y = mx + b
y = -x + b
Using (-6,-2)
-2 = -(-6) + b
-2 = 6 + b
b = -8
so y = -x - 8
P(t)=500(1+4t/(50+t^2 ))
P'(t) = 500 [(50+t^2).4 - 4t.2t]/(50+t^2)^2
by the quotient rule
500 (-4t^2 + 200)/(t^2 + 50)^2
Hence
P'(2) = 500 . (-16 + 200)/54^2 ~= 31.6
