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

Steps to solve: 28x - 12 + 2x - 4 - x

Musya8 [376]

Let's simplify by step

28x-12+2x-4-x

28x+-12+2x+-4+-x

Combine like terms

28x+-12+2x+-4+-x

(28x+2x+-x)+(-12+-4)

29x+-16

= 29x-16

I hope that's help !
