2. Perpendicular to y=1/2x -6 that passes through (6,-4) PLEASE HELP ME ASAP

Mathematics

Answer:

To get the slope (which we'll call n) of a line perpendicular to another line with slope (a/b), use

n = \frac{-b}{a}

Then we just plug in the point we want to cross and solve for the constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that m = \frac{1}{2}

so, n = -\frac{2}{1} = -2

now we have the equation

-2x + b = y

plugging in (6, -4) we get

-2(6) + b = -4\\-12+b = 4\\b=4+12=16

This gives us our function

y = -2x + 16

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Length\ of\ the\ long\ piece=40\ meters\\\\Length\ of\ the\ short\ piece=17\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{s+l=57} \atop {s=l-23}} \right.

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

(l-23)+l=57\\\\2l=80\\\\l=\frac{80}{2}\\\\l=40

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

s=40-23\\\\s=17

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The y-intercept refers to the y-coordinate of a point where a curve or a line, intersects the y-axis.

In the given equation, the y-intercept is ( 0, 9.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation;

y=0.10x+9.50

The y-intercept is simply the y-coordinate of a point where the line intersects the y-axis. At this point, the value of x is usually zero.

y = 0.10 (0) + 9.50

y = 0 + 9.50

y = 9.50

is our y-intercept
