If the line segment is perpendicular to a line with the slope of -4, that means the line segment has a slope of 1/4.

First let's make an equation for the line segment using the slope of 1/4 and the point at (2,6) to find the final piece, the y-intercept

y = mx + b
6 = 1/4(2) + b
6 = 2/4 + b
24/4 = 2/4 + b
22/4 = b

y = 1/4 x + 22/4
6 = 1/4(2) + 22/4
6 = 2/4 + 22/4
6 = 24/4
6 = 6 <-- proves that this equation is correct

Now you may plug in the x to find y. ( 8 , y )
y = 1/4(8) + 22/4
y = 8/4 + 22/4
y = 30/4 = 15/2 = 7.5

3/5x=52 is the answer 120 or 130
postnew [5]
The direct answer to your question is: "No".
because in that equation, 'x' is not 120 or130.

Let's find out what 'x' actually is:

<u>3/5 x  =  52</u>

Multiply each side by  5 :      3x  =  260

Divide each side by  3 :       <em>  x  =  86 and 2/3 </em>

A student’s first step to solving the equation 5(x – 2) = 10 was to simplify it to 5x – 2 = 10. Did the student make a mistake?

if the sum of a number and nine is doubled, the result is seven less than the number. find the number.
avanturin [10]
X=the number we have to find.
This expression "2(x+9)" is when the sum of a number and nine is doubled.
If the result is seven less than the number, we will have: x-7

We can suggest the following equation:
2(x+9)=(x-7)
2x+18=x-7
2x-x=-7-18
x=-25

answer: the number would be:  -25.
