Write an equation in slope-intercept form of a linear function f whose graph satisfies the given conditions. The graph of ƒ is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x - 2y - 4 = 0 and has the same y-intercept as this line.

Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line. Rewrite the equation 3x - 2y - 4 = 0 in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to find its slope.
Step 2: Rearrange the equation to solve for y. Start by adding 2y to both sides to get 3x - 4 = 2y.
Step 3: Divide every term by 2 to isolate y, resulting in y = (3/2)x - 2. The slope (m) of this line is 3/2.
Step 4: Determine the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line. The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore, the perpendicular slope is -2/3.
Step 5: Use the y-intercept from the original line, which is -2, to write the equation of the new line in slope-intercept form: y = (-2/3)x - 2.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Slope-Intercept Form

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is expressed as y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. This form is useful for quickly identifying the slope of the line and where it crosses the y-axis, making it easier to graph linear functions.

Perpendicular Lines

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. This means that if one line has a slope of m, the other line will have a slope of -1/m. Understanding this relationship is crucial for finding the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a given line.

Finding the Y-Intercept

The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which occurs when x = 0. To find the y-intercept from a linear equation, you can rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form or directly substitute x = 0 into the equation. This value is essential for constructing the equation of a line with a specific y-intercept.
