Answer:

4x + 9y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

9x - 4y = - 5 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 4y = - 9x - 5 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y = \frac{9}{4} x + \frac{5}{4} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{9}{4}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{9}{4} } = - \frac{4}{9} , then

y = - \frac{4}{9} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 9, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1

y = - \frac{4}{9} x - 1 ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fraction )

9y = - 4x - 9 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 9y = - 9 ← equation in standard form

All of the functions shown below are either exponential growth or decay functions.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If an exponential function is in the form of y = a(b)ˣ,

a = Initial quantity

b = Growth factor

x = Duration

Condition for exponential growth → b > 1

Condition for exponential decay → 0 < b < 1

Now we ca apply this condition in the given functions,

1). y=3.2(1+0.45)^{2x}

   Here, (1 + 0.45) = 1.45 > 1

   Therefore, It's an exponential growth.

2). y=(0.85)^{3x}

    Here, (0.85) is between 0 and 1,

    Therefore, it's an exponential decay.

3). y = (1 - 0.03)ˣ + 4

    Here, (1 - 0.03) = 0.97

    And 0 < 0.97 < 1

    Therefore, It's an exponential decay.

4). y = 0.5(1.2)ˣ + 2

    Here, 1.2 > 1

    Therefore, it's an exponential growth.
