The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:

2 = 5 + b
b= -3

That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3

A car purchased for $34,000 is expected to lose value, or depreciate, at a rate of 6% per year. Using x for years and y for the

lilavasa [31]

The equation is y=34000(1-0.06)ˣ.

It will take nearly 8 years for the car to lose enough value to be worth less than $21,000.

Using 21,000 for y, we have
21000=34000(1-0.06)ˣ
21000=34000(0.94)ˣ

Dividing both sides by 34000:
21000/34000 = 34000(0.94)ˣ/34000
(21/34) = 0.94ˣ

Using logarithms to solve this,
$\log_{0.94}(\frac{21}{34})=x
\\x=7.79 \approx8$

Which situations can be represented by a linear function?

Sedaia [141]

A linear function is when a variable y varies directly with a variable x. That is, when y increases, x also increases and the opposite is also true.
