Algebra.Com's Answer #735307 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of the line may be rewritten as y=2x+2 and has slope 2 \n" ); document.write( "The line perpendicular to it has slope -1/2, the negative reciprocal. \n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1) point slope formula where m is slope and (x1, y1) point \n" ); document.write( "y-4=(-1/2)(x-3) \n" ); document.write( "y=-x/2 + 11/2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is (x^2+2xh+h^2+4x+4h-5-(x^2+4x-5) divided by h \n" ); document.write( "The numerator becomes 2xh+h^2+4h, the denominator h \n" ); document.write( "This simplifies to 2x+h+4 and as h goes to 0, that becomes 2x+4, which is the derivative\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(x+h) for the function is (x+h)^2+4(x+h)-5, which is where the numerator came from. \n" ); document.write( " |
