Given parameters:
Equation of the line is y = -
+ 8
Unknown:
Slope of line parallel to this line = ?
Slope of line perpendicular = ?
Solution:
A line parallel to this line will have the same slope with it.
A line perpendicular will have the negative inverse of this slope;
Slope of line = - 
Slope of line parallel to this line =
Slope of line perpendicular = negative inverse = -( -(
)) = 2
So, the slope of line parallel to this line is - 1/2 and that perpendicular is 2
The change in growth was 14 - 0.5 = 13.5 inches.
Since it is over the course of 5 weeks, divide 13.5 by 5.
13.5/5 = 2.7
2.7 = 270%
The rate of change was 270%. Hope this helps!
No they're not proportional, and it's four*.
4/2 = 2
20/6 = 3.333333333334 or 3 1/3
