ANSWER
Vertical asymptote: x=-4
Horizontal asymptote: y=2
EXPLANATION
The given equation is
The vertical asymptote is determined by equating the denominator to zero and solve for x.
The equation of the vertical asymptote is
The numerator has the same degree as the denominator.
The equation of the horizontal asymptote is the coefficient of the leading term in the numerator expressed over the coefficient of the leading term in the denominator.
y=2
Answer:
288 × 60=17280 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you wrote that incorrectly
We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
