Answer:
y+8 = 2(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Since we know the slope of the first line is -1/2, this means the slope of the line perpendicular to it is 2.
And since we know the coordinated located on the line, we can fill out the formula for poiny-slope form:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
All you have to do is subtract 18.5 from 32 = 13.5 and then divide that number by 2 for each side of the poster, 13.5 / 2 = 6.75 inches
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4x = 6 Multiply both sides by 4/3
4/3 * 3/4 x = 6*4/3 Combine
x = 6 * 4/3
x = 6 * 4/3
x = 24/3
x = 8
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
