Greetings!

Answer:

2y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the slope of the current equation.

This is the number in front of the x.

Seeing as this is -2x, the slope of this line is -2

When finding the slope of a line perpendicular, you need to find the \frac{-1}{slope}

So, in this case it is:

\frac{-1}{-2}

The negatives cancel out which leave \frac{1}{2}

So the gradient is \frac{1}{2}


Now, to find the equation of a line, you need to use:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where ya and x1 are the values in the coordinates (2 , -2)

So y1  = -2, x1 = 2, and m is a half. Plug these values in:

y - - 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

We need to get rid of the half so we multiply the whole equation by 2:

2y - - 4 = (x - 2)

The minus and the negative turn into a positive:

2y + 4 = x - 2

And now simply move the +4 over to the other side, making it a negative:

2y =  -2 - 4 + x

Simplify:

2y = x - 6

<h3>So the equation of the line is 2y = x - 6</h3>

If the freshman class of 63 students has 11 more boys than girls, determine how many of each are in the class.g 1
torisob [31]
B + G = 63
B = G + 11

G + 11 + G = 63
2G + 11 = 63
2G = 63 - 11
2G = 52
G = 52/2
G = 26 <=== 26 girls

B = G + 11
B = 26 + 11
B = 37 <=== 37 boys

What is the y-intercept of the line that passes
lara [203]

The slope is

\frac{-13-31}{1-(-10)}=-4

So, the equation is

y+13=-4(x-1)

The y-intercept is when x=0, so

y+13=-4(0-1) \\ \\ y+13=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=-9}
