Use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form. Passing through \((2,-3)\) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is \(y=\frac{1}{5} x+6\)
A new car worth 45,000 dollars is depreciating in value by 5000 dollars per year. The mathematical model $$y=-5000 x+45,000$$ describes the car's value, \(y,\) in dollars, after \(x\) years. a. Find the \(x\) -intercept. Describe what this means in terms of the car's value. b. Find the \(y\) -intercept. Describe what this means in terms of the car's value. c. Use the intercepts to graph the linear equation. Because \(x\) and \(y\) must be nonnegative (why?), limit your graph to quadrant I and its boundaries. d. Use your graph to estimate the car's value after five years.
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. In many examples, I use the slope-intercept form of a line's equation to obtain an equivalent equation in point-slope form.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions. The line passes through \((-6,4)\) and is perpendicular to the line that has an \(x\) -intercept of 2 and a \(y\) -intercept of \(-4\)
A college campus goes beyond the standards described in Exercise \(49 .\) All wheelchair ramps on campus are designed so that every vertical rise of 1 foot is accompanied by a horizontal run of 14 feet. What is the grade of such a ramp? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
