Answer:

\sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

<u>where:</u>

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept (when x = 0)

Given: y = 2x + 9

<u>where:</u>

  • 2 is the slope
  • (0, 9) is the y-intercept

Note:

<u>Perpendicular lines</u> have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. 

\sf \textsf{a slope of 2} \implies \textsf{would have a negative reciprocal of} -\dfrac{1}{2}

\textsf{Perpendicular line:}\ \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b

Substitute the given point into the the equation to find the value of b:

\sf \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1\\\\-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b\\\\-1=-2+b\\\\-1+2=-2+2+b\\\\1=b

\textsf{Perpendicular line:}\ \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1

  • y-intercept of (0, 1)

Answer: y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

      In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

      Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) =  (-\frac{1}{2})(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 =  -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

     Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

          The line is y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1, or y = 1 - \frac{x}{2}.

SOMEONE PLEASEEEEEE HELPPPPP ASAPPPP I NEED THE ANSWER
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

34° is the closest to the record high in degree Fahrenheit ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The formula F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32 is used to convert the temperature from

    degrees Celsius (C) to degree Fahrenheit (F)

∵ The high temperature in Chicago is 1° Celsius

→ Substitute C in the formula above by 1

∴ F = \frac{9}{5} (1) + 32

∴ F =  \frac{9}{5}  + 32

∴ F = 33.8°

→ Round it to the nearest degree Fahrenheit

∴ F ≅ 34°

∴ 34° is the closest to the record high in degree Fahrenheit

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

90° clockwise rotation or 270° anticlockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)=(y,-x)

<em>E(-6,-4)=E'(-4,6)</em>

<em>F(-4,-4)=F'(-4,4)</em>

<em>G(-2,-6)=G'(-6,2)</em>

<em>H(-7,-7)=H'(-7,7)</em>

Therefore, E prime is (-4,6), F prime is (-4,4), G prime is (-6,2) and H prime is (-7,7).
