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.

dlinn [17]

Answer: Explanation:First, let's call the number of 2 cent coins: tNext, let's call the number of 5 cent coins: fWe can then write to equations from the information in the problem.Equation 1: t+f=40Equation 2: 0.02t+0.05f=1.55Step 1) Solve the first equation for t:t+f=40t+f−f=40−ft+0=40−ft=40−fStep 2) Substitute (40−f) for t in the second equation and solve for f:0.02t+0.05f=1.55 becomes:0.02(40−f)+0.05f=1.55(0.02×40)−(0.02×f)+0.05f=1.550.80−0.02f+0.05f=1.550.80+(−0.02+0.05)f=1.550.80+0.03f=1.550.80−0.80+0.03f=1.55−0.800+0.03f=0.750.03f=0.750.03f0.03=0.750.030.03f0.03=25f=25Step 3) Substitute 25 for f in the solution to the first equation at the end of Step 1 and calculate t:t=40−f becomes:t=40−25t=15The Solution Is:There are:15 two cent coins25 five cent coins
