If the line is perpendicular, then its slope is the reciprocal of the given line's slope. This new line's slope is 1/2. We plug it into slope-intercept form
y = 1/2x + b
Now plug in the given point of (2, 10) and solve for b.
10 = 1/2(2) + b
10 = 1 + b
9 = b
So your equation is y = 1/2x + 9
Answer:
=2a
Step-by-step explanation:
a-2/5a and a+2/5a cancel each other out and your left with a+a aka 2a
Answer:
Alvin: 49
Elga: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
- The equation is 89 = x + (x-9).
- Remove the parenthesis and combine the like terms. 89 = 2x - 9
- Add 9 on both sides. 98 = 2x
- Divide by 2 on both sides. x = 49
- 49 is the age of Alvin. (49-9) 40 is the age of Elga.
