what is the equation of a line perpendicular to minus x plus 2 equal y that intersects the line at open parentheses minus 1.5 comma space 3.5 close parentheses ?

answer

a) the midrange of the data set shown is 85.5

step by step explanation

let's find the midrange.

the midrange is nothing but add the greatest value and the least value, then divide it by 2.

here the greatest value = 99

the least value = 72

midrange = (99 + 72)/2

= 171/2

midrange = 85.5

you.

(a) x intercepts: -6 and 2

you can obtain these by solving the equation 0=x^2 +4x-12 using your favorite quadratic formula. but it is easy to verify -6 and 2 indeed satisfy this equation.

(b) y intercept: -12

this is obtained by setting x=0: 0^2+4*0-12 = -12

(c) the minimum value is: -16 (this is the vertex)

you can get the vertex by rewriting the equation into the form:

there is no global or local maximum as the function goes to infinity, so only in the limit sense: +infinity.
