Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The point must be a critical point but it could be a saddle point. If the point is a saddle point it would not be neither a maximum nor a minimum. So it must be critical but it does not follow directly that it has a local maximum or local minimum.
Therefore D. (a,b) would be a candidate, but is not necessarily a maximum or minimum. It could be a saddle.
In Perpendicular product of slope is -1 so slope of y=2x-4 is 2 and 2*m=-1 m= -1/2 so y= -1/2x -4
The correct answer is 3/2.
Slope = Rate Of Change
Slope Formula: y₂ - y₁ 5 - 2 3
-------------- = ---------- = -----
x₂ - x₁ 3 - 1 2
I hope that this helps you!
Btw, ₁ and ₂ are subscripts, they do not have anything to do with the actual working of the problem.
To use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient, then you can eliminate them.
