Is the ordered pair (-2, 9) a solution of the equation y = x – 7?

2 answers:

No because if you plug in the ordered pair you would get 9=-2-7 which equals -9 making -9 and 9 unequal means (-2,9) is not a solution.

To find if (-2,9) is a solution of the equation y = x - 7, just plug the values back into the original equation. You can get these values by using the coordinate point.
$9 = -2 - 7
$
$9 ≠ -9$
Since the values are not equal, the coordinate point (-2,9) is not a solution of the equation y = x - 7. Hope this helps and have a fabulous day!

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

cos60° = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cofunction identity

• cos(90 - x)° = sinx°, hence

sin30° = cos(90 - 30)° = cos60° = $\frac{1}{2}$

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to

Valentin [98]

Since the given line

$y = \frac{ 1}{4} x - 3$

has slope
$= \frac{1}{4}$

The equation of the line perpendicular to it must have a slope which is the negative reciprocal of ,
$\frac{1}{4}$
The slope of the perpendicular line
$= \frac{ - 1}{ \frac{1}{4} } = - 4$
Using the slope intercept form,

$y = mx + c$
We substitute
$- 4$
This implies that,
$y = - 4x + c$
Since

$(-2,4)$
lies on this line , it must satisfy its equation.

That is

$4 = - 4( - 2) + c$

This implies that

$4 = 8 + c$
$4 - 8 = c$
$c = - 4$

The line therefore has equation,

$y = - 4x - 4$
