Which equation represents the line that contains the point (-2, 9) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 6?

2 answers:

Y=-1/2x+8

perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2

y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (3, 7)? (1 point) y = −2x + 1 y = −2x − 1 y

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is $\frac{7-3}{3-1}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Using the point (1,3) to substitute into point-slope form,

$y-3=2(x-1)\\\\y-3=2x-2\\\\\boxed{y-2x+1}$

Answer:

Can't get one(Read explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do to find out if its a function is see if any of the dots are in the same x value. If they are, its not a function. If they aren't it is a function.

Perimeter is
2 • width+ 2•length=
