Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?
Remember
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)
The slope of the given line is m=-1/2
so
the opposite reciprocal is m=2
<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>
we have
substitute
<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>
isolate the variable y
The answer is C
The equation has x = 8/10
To get X by itself you need to divide both sides by 8, so the equation should become X = 10/8
Answer:
C. 1.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides.
The formula for the area of a regular polygon is
where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. The perimeter is found by multiplying the number of sides of the figure by the length of 1 of those sides:
5(2.2) = 11
Now we have everything we need to solve for the length of the apothem.
Begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction, so
16.6 = 11a Divide both sides by 11 to get
a = 1.5090909 or
C. 1.5 cm
1+2 that what it is im juts joking idek how to solve that
First, let's convert each line to slope-intercept form to better see the slopes.
Isolate the y variable for each equation.
2x + 6y = -12
Subtract 2x from both sides.
6y = -12 - 2x
Divide both sides by 6.
y = -2 - 1/3x
Rearrange.
y = -1/3x - 2
Line b:
2y = 3x - 10
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 1.5x - 5
Line c:
3x - 2y = -4
Add 2y to both sides.
3x = -4 + 2y
Add 4 to both sides.
2y = 3x + 4
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 1.5x + 2
Now, let's compare our new equations:
Line a: y = -1/3x - 2
Line b: y = 1.5x - 5
Line c: y = 1.5x + 2
Now, the rule for parallel and perpendicular lines is as follows:
For two lines to be parallel, they must have equal slopes.
For two lines to be perpendicular, one must have the negative reciprocal of the other.
In this case, line b and c are parallel, and they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.
However, none of the lines are perpendicular, as -1/3x is not the negative reciprocal of 1.5x, or 3/2x.
<h3><u>B and C are parallel, no perpendicular lines.</u></h3>
