Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{3}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ 2x-y=5.\\\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form y = mx + b:}\\\\2x-y=5\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\-y=-2x+5\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\y=2x-5\to m_1=2\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(3,\ 0).\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=3,\ y=0:\\\\0=-\dfrac{1}{2}(3)+b\\\\0=-\dfrac{3}{2}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{3}{2} \text{to both sides}\\\\b=\dfrac{3}{2}

Y+5=2(x+1)<br><br><br> what is the slope for this Math
Stells [14]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.y=mx+bRewrite in slope-intercept form.Simplify 2(x+1).Apply the distributive property.

y+5=2x+2⋅1

multiply 2 by 1.

y+5=2x+2

y+5=2x+2

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

y=2x+2−5

y=2x−3

the slope is the "m" so the slope is 2

Answer:

The first 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First expression = -4+30-3 =23

Second expression = 8(10+4)= 112.

The others would lead to a negative number.

Remember negative times negative = positive

Negative times negative times negative = negative
