Answer:
f(x) = 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently the ordered pairs are ...
(x, f(x)) = (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)
We note that as x increases by 1, the value of f(x) increases by 2. The difference between f(x) and 2x is 3-2·1 = 1, so we have ...
f(x) -2x = 1
f(x) = 2x +1 . . . . . . add 2x
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:
The given line is:
So we have:
We find
So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:
We substitute the given point to find "b":
Finally we have:
In point-slope form we have:
