What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 and passes through the point (-2, 1)

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

x + 2y = 4

2y = - x + 4

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y = - x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c

c = 1 + 4 = 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 5

The answer is -6

because the triangle angles must measure to 180 and the scalene triangle states that the base angles add up to 86. Subtract 86 from 100, you get 94. Angle two is 94. 94-100=x

The yearbook club had a meeting. The meeting had 21 people, which is one-third of the club. How many people are in the club?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

63 because if 1/3 of the club is gone then we need to multiply 21 times 21 to find the total. Which is 63.
