Perpendicular means opposite and reciprocal (in reference to the slope). 
The opposite of 1/2 is -1/2. The reciprocal of -1/2 is -2.

Now we know the slope we can plug the point they gave us into the X and Y positions to solve for b (in the point (2, 3) there is a X - Value (2) and a Y-value (3)

y= -2x+b
3= -2(2)+b
3= -4+b
1=b

Now we plug b and the slope in the generic y=mx+b equation:
y= -2x+1

Rewrite the equation by completing the square 4x^2-4x+1=0
oee [108]

Answer:

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

To complete the square the coefficient of the x² term must be 1

Factor out 4 from 4x² - 4x

= 4(x² - x) + 1 = 0

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x

4(x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} ) + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² - 1 + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

Create and describe a function related to your field (or intended field). Give a detailed explanation of the domain (input) and
Andru [333]

An example of a domain that can be illustrated from the information given will be D(x) = 32.

<h3>Domain and range</h3>

An example based on the information given is "A gas tank in John's car can hold 20 gallons of gas and the car gets 32 miles for every gallon".

John fills up the tank and then goes on a trip. In this case, the distance that will be travelled on one tank will be:

D(x) = 32x

In the above function, it should be noted that the number of gallons can be from 0 to 20. Since he gets 32 miles per gallon, the car can travel 640 miles.

In this case, the domain is the number of gallons that can be used. The number of miles will be the range.
