Given the equation y=-2x+4, we can easily find the slope of the perpendicular line by calculating the inverse negative of the slope. This is:

\begin{gathered} y=-2x+4 \\ m=-2 \\ m_p=-\frac{1}{m} \\ \Rightarrow m_p=-\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2} \\ m_p=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have the slope, we can ouse the equation slope-intercept to find the intercept b using the point (-3,-2):

\begin{gathered} m_p=\frac{1}{2} \\ (x,y)=(-3,-2) \\ y=mx+b \\ \Rightarrow-2=\frac{1}{2}(-3)+b \\ \Rightarrow-2+\frac{3}{2}=b \\ \Rightarrow b=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

Is the following a fixed or a variable expense?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Fixed Expense (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically fixed expenses incorporate car payments, lease or rent payments, insurance premiums, and real estate taxes. Typically, these expenses can't be simply changed. On the positive side, they're simple to budget for because they regularly stay the same and are paid on a daily basis.

Find the midpoint of diagonal AC of ABCD
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

M= (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have from the picture:

A = (-3,5)

C = (5, 1)

M = Midpoint

M =((x1+x2)/2), ((y1+y2)/2)

so we have:

x1= -3     y1 = 5

x2= 5     y2= 1

M= ((-3+5)/2) , ((5+1)/2)

M = ((2/2) , (6/2))

M= (1, 3)
