The rate of change is (amount of the change) / (time it took to change) .
Amount of the change = (3 - 1) = 2 .
Rate of change = (2) / (time it took to change from 1 to 3) .
Y = -2/3x + 7.....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All tht means is take the original slope, flip it, and change the sign. So we take -2/3....flip it making it -3/2.....change the sign making it 3/2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(-5,6)....x = -5 and y = 6
now sub and find b, the y int
6 = 3/2(-5) + b
6 = -15/2 + b
6 + 15/2 = b
12/2 + 15/2 = b
27/2 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x + 27/2 <==
:
Since
, we get:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have
simplify 
then the radical rule is used: ![\quad \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cquad%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bab%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D)
⇒ 
Now we have
and
