Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation
m=slope

so get into y=mx+b form
-x+2y=4
solve for y
add x both sides
2y=x+4
divide by 2 both sides
y=(1/2)x+2
the slope is 1/2

perppendicular line slope multiplies to -1
1/2 times what=-1
times 2/1 both sides
what=-2/1=-2

y=-2x+b
find b
we are given a point is (-2,1)
when x=-2, y=1
1=-2(-2)+b
1=4+b
minus 3 both sides
-3=b

so the equation is
y=-2x-3

your teacher might want it in standard form (ax+by=c) so
add 2x both sides
2x+y=-3 is an equation


so y=-2x-3 is correct (slope intercept form)
2x+y=-3 is also correct (standard form)

Rationalize the denominator.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

7sqrt(15) - 5sqrt(6)

------------------------------

45

Step-by-step explanation:

7 -sqrt(10)

-----------------------

3 sqrt(5) *sqrt(3)

7 -sqrt(10)

-----------------------

3 sqrt(15)

Multiply the top and bottom by sqrt(15)/ sqrt(15)

7 -sqrt(10)               sqrt(15)

----------------------- * ------------

3 sqrt(15)                 sqrt(15)


(7 -sqrt(10))* sqrt(15)

-----------------------------------

3 *15

Distribute


7sqrt(15) - sqrt(150)

------------------------------

45

sqrt(ab) =sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

150 = 25*6

7sqrt(15) - sqrt(25)sqrt(6)

------------------------------

45

7sqrt(15) - 5sqrt(6)

------------------------------

A jug of milk holds 4 quarts. How many liters of milk does the jug hold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a liter.
Maurinko [17]
The answer is 3.785, but rounding it to the nearest hundredth is 3.78 or 3.79, depending on rather they wanted you to take the 5 and round up or just leave it off.
