What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 1/2x + 6 that passes through the point (4,-3)

Mathematics

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=1/2x + 6 is 1/2. The slope perpendicular to it is -2.

Using m=-2, substitute it and (4,-3) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y--3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2x+8\\y=-2x+5

The equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx+b and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of y=-2x+5 is (0,5).

Plss help me do this o-o
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

x=\sqrt6\\y=\sqrt{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since angles in a triangle add up to 180º, the remaining angle must be 45º.

So the side with length x must be equal to the side with length \sqrt6. That is:

x=\sqrt6

Now, by Pythagoras:

y=\sqrt{(\sqrt6)^2+(\sqrt6)^2}\\=\sqrt{6+6}\\=\sqrt{12}

sergiy2304 [10]

the answer is D.

I dont know how to add work for a question like this, however, I know how I'd show work....

Draw a graph and stick a point in the IV quadrant and label it "original". Then next to it, draw another graph and stick a point in the III quadrant and label it "reflection"


TIP: if you do that, make sure the points are in the same location in each quadrant

check my answers please solve the following equation. 2(h - 8) - h = h - 16 h = 8 h = -8 infinitely many solutions no solution
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Sorry that is wrong, you distribute the 2 to the h and the 8 so it would be 2h-16-h. that would be h-16 on the left side,
