They don't come out even.
As rounded decimals, the two numbers are
<em>5.54138...</em> and <em>-0.54138...</em>
Which part do you need help on?
Answer:
y=-1/2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
a line perpendicular to a given line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the given one. this means the slope of the line perpendicular to the given one would be -1/2.
How I got this: 2 as a fraction would be 2/1, so the reciprocal would be 1/2, but we want the NEGATIVE reciprocal, so we multiply the fraction by -1, which gets us -1/2.
Now we know the slope of the equation that passes through (4,3) which is perpendicular to the given line.
y=-1/2x+b
b is the y-intercept, so we use the point (4,3) and the slope we were given to find out b.
when the point's x value is 0, the y value is the y intercept.
