The slope of a line perpendicular to line B would -1/2. This is because the slope of line B is 2 and whenever you’re finding a perpendicular slope you find the reciprocal of the original one. So the reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

Answer:

m = -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is find the slope of line B.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (5 - (-5)) / (3 - (-1))

m = 10 / 4

m = 2 1/2 or 5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to line B will be the negative reciprocal of 5/2. Just flip the numerator and the denominator and add a minus sign:

5/2 → -2/5

Solve for the indicated variable.<br> 8x + 4y = 12; y<br>​
Ket [755]

Answer:

y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8x+4y=12

To solve for y, let us first isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8x from the left and move it to the right. We then get:

4y=12-8x

Now, we have y isolated. We now have to remove the 4 from the y. The only way to do this is divide both sides by 4. We then get our final answer:

y=3-2x

We can clean this up by putting it in a common form, slope-intercept form:

y=-2x+3
