Answer:
C. Both x is a function of y and y is a function of x
Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>function</u> is a relationship which assigns to each input (from the domain) value, a unique output (from the range).
y is a function of x means x is from domain, y is from range
x is a function of y means y is from domain, x is from range
1. Given
y is a function of x because for each x there is exactly one y corresponding to this x.
2. Rewrite expressing x in terms of y:
x is a function of y because for each y there is exactly one x corresponding to this x.
<h3>Answer ↓</h3>
y=-2x+5
<h3>Calculations ↓</h3>First of all we need to determine the slope of the line perpendicular to y = 1/2x - 5 .
The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.
So we take 1/2 , turn it over , and change it's sign :
The slope of the line perpendicular to y = 1/2x-5 is -2 .
Since we're also given a point that the line crosses , we can write the line's equation in point - slope form :
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-7=-2(x-(-1)
y-7=-2(x+1)
Now convert to slope intercept :
y-7=-2x-2
add 7 on both sides :
<h3>y = -2x+5</h3>
