So the equation has to pass through (6,-1) and be perpendicular to y = -2x + 8.
The slope is -2, and to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another line you have to find the negative reciprocal of that slope. That means -2 is equal to 
-2/1, and if you flip those numbers and find the opposite of that number making it positive, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1/2.
But the line also has to pass through (6,-1), so we have to find the y-intercept of the new line.
To do that, you multiply 6(the x) by the 1/2(the slope) and get 3. Then you subtract 3(previous answer) from -1(the y) and get -4. That means the y-intercept is -4!
All that's left is to build the equation with this information. The equation is: 
y = -4 + 1/2x 
Hope this helps!

Answer:

A and C I believe

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you take 7.429 another nine rounds the 2 and it is higher than 5 so it would make that 7.43 and for C 7.433 the second 3 is lower than 5 so it doesnt change anything, since 5 and above give it a shove and 4 and below let it go, so I believe its A and C

scZoUnD [109]
  • Area=6767cm²

Diameter be d

Radius be r

  • πr²=6767
  • r²=6767/π
  • r²=2155
  • r=46.4cm

Diameter=2r=46.4(2)=92.8cm
