Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = 2

Choose all that correctly solve for x.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Options: A, B, and C correctly solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).

$\frac{5}{2} x$ = $\frac{15}{2}$

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives;

5x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 5 = 3

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

B).

x + $\frac{7}{2}$ = 7

x = 7 - $\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{14}{2} -\frac{7}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

C).

x + 3 = $\frac{21}{5}$

x = $\frac{21}{5} - \frac{15}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

But the option give x as 5/6 hence this option does not correctly solve for x.

D).

5x = 11/2

x = 11/2 ÷ 5 = 11/2 × 1/5 = 11/10

But the option gives x as 10/11 so it does not correctly solve for x.
