Answer:

y = -x/2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the slope

2x - y - 7 = 0

2x - 7 = y

y = 2x - 7

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

m = slope

m = 2

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, both lines are negative reciprocal of each other

Therefore m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form

y - y1 = m( x - x1)

( 4 , -1)

x = 4

y = -1

y - (-1) = -1/2(x - 4)

y + 1 = -1/2(x - 4)

Open the bracket

y + 1 = -x + 4 / 2

y = (-x + 4) / 2 - 1

LCM = 2

y = -x + 4 - 2 / 2

y = (-x + 2)/2

Separate the two, so as to get the slope and the intercept

y = -x/2 + 2/2

y = -x/2 + 1

The equation of the line is

y = -x/2 + 1

What is greater 1/6 or 2/11
harkovskaia [24]
Lets check

1/6 ... 2/11

cross-multiply
1*11 ... 2*6
11 ... 12

12, which was on right side, is greater

hence 2/11 is greater.

cross-verify: 1/6 = 0.167
2/11 = 0.1818

yes, 2/11 is greater :)

1. A total of 498 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 53
arlik [135]
498-53=445
445/2=222.5
222.5+53=275.5 
so there were 222.5 student tickets sold 
to check: 275.5 + 222.5+498
