Answer:

y = (-3/4)x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. In other words, if the slope of one line is a/b, then the slope of the line perpendicular to it would be -b/a.

Here, the given slope is 4/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/4.

We are given a point (-4, -1) and we know the slope, so we can find the point-slope form of the line. Point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope. Here, x1 = -4 and y1 = -1 and m = -3/4. So:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = (-3/4) * (x - (-4)) = (-3/4) * (x + 4)

y + 1 = (-3/4)x + (-3/4) * 4 = (-3/4)x - 3

y = (-3/4)x - 3 - 1

y = (-3/4)x - 4

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0. The function curves up into the first quadra
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The graph will show an initial value that is lower on the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function has the next general form:

y = ab^x

where <em>a</em> is the initial amount and <em>b</em> is the base.

If the <em>a</em> value in the function is decreased, but remains greater than 0, the y-intercept of the curve decrease.

6 12/17 a rational number
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the mixed number into an improper fraction...

6 12/17 becomes 114/17    

The definition of a rational number is any number a/b where b does not equal zero.  114/17 satisfies this requirement, so it is a rational number
