Terry is skiing down a steep hill. Terry's elevation E(t) in feet after t seconds is given by E(t) = 2000 − 90t. Write a complete sentence describing Terry's starting elevation and how it is changing over time.

Terry starts at an elevation of 2000 feet and descends at 90 feet per second.

Determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing. a(x) = 7 − 6x

The function is decreasing.

Determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing. j(x) = 1/3x − 7

The function is increasing.

Find the slope m of the line passing through the points (3.25, −9.19) and (3.25, 4.77). (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)

UNDEFINED

slope of line passing through (3.29,-9.19) & (3.29,4.72)

UNDEFINED

slope of perpendicular lines

Determine whether the lines given by the equations below are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular. 5y + 6x = 30 −10y = 12x + 1

parallel

Determine whether the lines given by the equations below are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular. 2x − 3y = 10 3x + 2y = 1

perpendicular

If the graphs of two linear functions are perpendicular, describe the relationship between the slopes and the y-intercepts.

slope: negative reciprocals of one another. y-intercept: There is no relationship.
