Answer:

Option A) y = -2x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The equation of the given line is

y=\frac{1}{2}x+3

so

The slope of the given line is  m=\frac{1}{2}

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is

m=-2

step 2

Find the equation of the perpendicular line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-2

point\ (10,-5)

substitute

y+5=-2(x-10) ---> equation in point slope form

Convert to slope intercept form

y=mx+b

y+5=-2x+20

y=-2x+20-5

y=-2x+15

Help Please? cx<br> Find a measure of angle 8.
Mila [183]
In the diagram, ∠2 and ∠6 are the same as well as ∠4 and ∠8. If we added ∠2 and ∠6, they would equal 180°...therefore, if we subtract 106 from 180, we are left with 74° for the answer to ∠8

Y=12x=25 help please
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Simplifying

y = 12x + 25

Reorder the terms:

y = 25 + 12x

Solving

y = 25 + 12x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying

y = 25 + 12x

NEED HELP ASAP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
Nookie1986 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chord Intersection Theorem:

If 2 chords of a circle are AB and CD and they intersect at E, then

AE * EB = CE * ED.

Problem.

Two Chords AB and CD intersect  at E.  If AE =  2cm , EB = 4 and CE = 2.5 cm, find the length of ED.

By the above theorem : 2 * 4 = 2.5 * ED

ED = (2 * 4) / 2.5

= 3.2 cm.

is this what u wanted??????????

Some cows are brown. Fido is not a cow. Fido must be brown.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

B.) Invalid Argument

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Fido is not a cow does not mean that he will automatically be brown. It is already stated that some cows(something Fido is not) are colored brown.
