Given :

Equation of line 1 , y = 2x .

A point (1 , 2) .

To Find :

The equation of the line L2 perpendicular to L1 passing through the point P = (1, 2) .

Solution :

Let , equation of line 2 is :

y = mx + c     .....eq 1 ( here , m is slope and c is a constant )

Now , we know when two lines are perpendicular product of their slope is -1 .

Slope of given line is 2 .

Therefore ,

2m=-1\\\\m=\dfrac{-1}{2}

Now putting value of m in equation 1 , we get :

y=\dfrac{-1}{2}x+c

Now , it is given that this point (1,2) satisfy the above equation .

So ,

2=\dfrac{-1}{2}(1)+c\\\\c=\dfrac{5}{2}

Putting value of c in above equation , we get :

y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\2y=-x+5

Therefore , the equation of the line L2 perpendicular to L1 passing through the point P = (1, 2) is 2y = -x +5 .

Hence , this is the required solution.

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y=3/4x+2
k0ka [10]
A line that is parallel to another has exactly the same slope as the other.

so a parallel line to that line above, will have the same slope hmmm what is the slope of <span>y=3/4x+2 anyway?

well, notice, since it's already in slope-intercept form   </span>\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{3}{4}}x~~\stackrel{y-intercept}{+2}

If sv=38, su=26, and the perimeter of SUV is 102, what is the value of RU?
Finger [1]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let SUV be a triangle

Perimeter of SUV = SU+SV + UV

102 = 38 + 26 + UV

102 = 64 + UV

UV = 102 - 64

UV = 38

Hence the length of UV is 38
