- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept.
If two lines are perpendicular, then they will have slopes that are <u>negative reciprocals</u> to each other. An example of negative reciprocals are 2 and -1/2
<h2>6.</h2>
Now with line 2, I have to convert it to slope intercept form. Firstly, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by -5 and your slope-intercept form is 
Now since 2/5 is <em>not</em> the negative reciprocal of -2/5, <u>these lines are not perpendicular.</u>
<h2>7.</h2>
It's pretty much the same process; convert to slope-intercept and determine if negative reciprocal. This time I'll brush through them:
Now since 2 <em>is</em> the negative reciprocal of -1/2, <u>these lines are perpendicular.</u>
Let the number be x.
8 - x = x -34
2x = 8 + 34
2x = 42
x = 21
Answer: The number is 21.
Simplifying
5x + -9 = 38
Reorder the terms:
-9 + 5x = 38
Solving
-9 + 5x = 38
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + 9 + 5x = 38 + 9
Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + 5x = 38 + 9
5x = 38 + 9
Combine like terms: 38 + 9 = 47
5x = 47
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 9.4
Simplifying
x = 9.4
Tess is correct about figuring 10% but he added 2 of them together which is like adding 10% +10% which is 20% not 15%.
he should have taken 1/2 of the 4.60 for 5% since 5 is half of 10
half of 4.60 = 2.30
then add that to the 4.60
4.60 +2.30 = 6.90 is 15%
