PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS

The answer is Letter B - x = 1.5.
First, we'll get the length of the "point" where the circle and the line meets to "S". Since RS = 11, we'll subtract x from 11. So its measurement is 11 - x and that is equal to "S" to the "point". After, we'll get "point" to "T". ST = 14, we'll subtract 11 - x from 14. We can get 4 + x. That measurement is equal to T to "point". The repeat the same process until you reach "point" to R, 3 - x.
To get x, equate both equations. Transpose and simplify.
x = 3 - x
2x = 3
x = 1.5
Note: refer to the attached image for the steps, they're similar except for the given values.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the line y=2x+8. It is in slope-intercept form or y= mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope of the line is 2.
We want to find the equation that is perpendicular. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.
1. Negate
- Negate the slope, or switch the sign
- (+) 2 --> -2
2. Reciprocal
- Flip the numerator and denominator of the slope.
- -2/1 --> -1/2
The perpendicular slope is -1/2, so the correct equation must be B.
The slope
