Answer:
y=-2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since our equation is in standard form Ax+By=C we must first manipulate the equation so that we have it in the slope-intercept form such that y=mx+b. Therefore:
Therefore, our slope is 1/2 and our y-intercept is 2. Now in order to determine a perpendicular line to the one stated above we must then get the negative inverse of our slope meaning (negative reciprocal). Now we must use the point slope formula:
Where m is the slope, x1 is -2 and y1 is 1 (because of the ordered pair given). And so:
Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 is y=-2x-3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the exponential function of the form:
And it goes through the points (0, 13) and (3, 832).
Hence, when we substitute in 0 for x, we should get 13 for y. Therefore:
Since anything to the zeroth power is 1, this yields:
So, we determined that the value of a is 13.
So, our function is now:
We will need to determine b. We know that y equals 832 when x is 3. Hence:
Divide both sides by 13:
Take the cube root of both sides:
Hence, our b value is 4.
Therefore, our entire equation is:
