1)We have to make a line perpendicular to y=2x+3, passing through the point (0,0).

y=2x+3   
m=solpe=2

The slope of the line perpedicular to y=2x+3 is m´
m´=-1/m
m´=-1/2

Point slope form:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
(0,0)
m=-1/2

y-0=-1/2(x-0)
y=-x/2

Therefore, the line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is y=-x/2.

2)The point on the line y=2x+3 tha is closest to the origin is the point of intersection of the two lines.

y=2x+3
y=-x/2

We can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
2x+3=-x/2
least common multiple=2
4x+6=-x
4x+x=-6
5x=-6
x=-6/5  (=-1.2)

y=-x/2
y=-(-6/5)/2=6/10=3/5    (=0,6)

Therefore: the point of the line y=2x+3 that is closest to the origin is:
 (-1.2 , 0.6)

what is the expression and value of six less than the quotient of a number and two increased by 10 when n=20​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The expression will be (\frac{n}{2} - 6) + 10(

2

n

−6)+10 and its value is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to write the expression and the value of “six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by ten”.

If the number is n, then the expression will be (\frac{n}{2} - 6) + 10(

2

n

−6)+10 .

Now, if the value of n is 8 then the value of the expression will be (\frac{8}{2} - 6) + 10 = 4 - 6 + 10 = 8(

2

8

−6)+10=4−6+10=8 (Answer)
