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

Is (1,-4) a solution to the equation y=-2x?<br> Yes or no? Please help /:
Elden [556K]
No it is not, the solution would need to be (2,-4) in order to satisfy the equation y = -2x -- like so -4 = -2(2)

-4 = -4, otherwise the equation won't be satisfied.

-6 minus -2 1/2<br>step by step explanation please ​
tatuchka [14]

Turn fraction into a decimal.

-2 1/2 = -2.5

Remember that when you subtract a negative number it automatically changes it to adding a positive number.

-6 + 2.5 = -3.5

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

△FSB∼△ZDR .<br><br> What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer.<br><br> How many units?
kari74 [83]
Answer: 22

---------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, so we know the corresponding sides form ratios that are equal. 

Note how...
FS and ZD are the first two letters of FSB and ZDR respectively
FB and ZR are the first & last letters of FSB and ZDR respectively

Based on those two facts above, we can form this proportion
FS/ZD = FB/ZR
38/15.2 = 55/x

Solve for x
38/15.2 = 55/x
38*x = 15.2*55
38*x = 836
x = 836/38
x = 22
