we know that

If line b is perpendicular to line a, and line c is perpendicular to line a,

then

line b and line c are parallel

and two lines parallel have the same slope

so

<u>Find the slope of the line b</u>

Let

A(-3,-2)\\B(2,3)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

(x1,y1)=(-3,-2)\\(x2,y2)=(2,3)

substitute

m=\frac{(3+2)}{(2+3)}

m=\frac{(5)}{(5)}

m=1

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

<u>the slope of the line c is</u>

mc=1

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year. If f(x) represents the value of the car
Lerok [7]

Answer

The function represents the car’s value after x years.

f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x

Reason

As given

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000.

The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year.

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Thus

The decrease in the value of car is represented by = a (1 - r)× t

Where a is the original cost

r is the depreciates rate in decimal form

t is time in years.

Here a = $20000 ,r = 0.15 , t = x years

The value of car after x years = 20,000 (1 -0.15)x

                                                 = 20000(0.85)x

Therefore the the value of the car after x years is represented by  f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x .

At the beginning of the summer Matt swim 12 laps. At the end of the summer he could swim 15 laps. What is the percent increase i
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100
A positive percent change is a percent increase.
A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

In this problem, we have:
The new number is 15 laps.
The old number is 12 laps.


percent change = (15 - 12)/(12) * 100

percent change = 3/12 * 100

percent change = 25

Since the percent change is positive, +25, it is a percent increase.

Answer: The percent increase is 25%

Which could be the graph of f(x) = |x - h| + k if h and k are both positive? On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x - h| + k has a vertex at (h, k), where both h and k are positive.  Only

"On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (2, 1)"  satisfies those requirements.
