To answer this you must know the rule for the slopes of perpendicular lines. the rule is that if 2 lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal.

the word opposite means that if the slope of one is positive, then the other is negative. And vice versa.

the word reciprocal means that you divide 1 by whatever the slope is. So the reciprocal of x is 1/x.

so let's say we have a slope of -2 and what to find a line perpendicular. We need to find the opposite reciprocal. the opposite of -2 is 2. And the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. So perpendicular line would have slope of 1/2

now to answer yours.

We know that y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y intercept.

so:
y - 3 = 4 (x + 2)
y = 4x + 11

so m = 4. the slope is 4.

the opposite of 4 is - 4 and the reciprocal of - 4 is - 1/4. So that is out new slope of perpendicular line.

We know that given a point we can use:
(y - y1) = m (x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point

We are given point (- 5, 7) and we know m = - 1/4. so:

y - (7) = - 1/4(x - (- 5))
y - 7 = - 1/4(x + 5)
y - 7 =- 1/4x - 5/4
y = - 1/4x + 23/4

this should be equAtion. We can check by seeing if slopes are opposite reciprocal and by plugging in point.

- 1/4 is opposite reciprocal of 4.

plug in point
7 = - 1/4 (- 5) + 23/4
7 = 5/4 + 23/4
7 = 7

this is correct

Answer:

1. -4x < 8

2. 4x < 8

3. When something is done to one side of the equation, the same thing must be done to the other side. Dividing each side by -4 in part A would cause the sign to flip because the sign is always flipped when dividing by a negative. Because 4 in 4x (part B) is not negative, the sign is not flipped.

Find the value of x in each figure number 5 please
Stells [14]
So the angle that's next to the 62 is 118. Now that means the other angles have to add up to 62. 62-14= 48 and 48/2 is 24 so X=24. Good luck! :)

Erika worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week. If she earns $6 per hour, how much did she earn these two weeks?
Crank
Hi!

If she worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week, then she worked 38 hours in total, because 18 + 20 = 38.

If she earns $6 per hour, and she worked for 38 hours, then she got 38 sets of 6, which you can find the answer to by multiplying 38 and 6.

This is essentially 6 + 6 + 6 +...

38 * 6 = $228

So she earned $228 these two weeks.

Hope this helped!
