In a foreign country, half of 5 = 3. Based on that same proportion, what's one-third of 10?

1 answer:

5 0

If the rule is to round the result to the closest number, by going up, then 10/3 = 4.
But if the rule is to round to the closest number, and with the convention that if we have an equality, we chose the upper solution, then 10/3 = 3.

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (4, - 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = - 2x + 5.

Licemer1 [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y=1/2x

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.
The simplest way to determine a number's reciprocal is to flip it over, like so:
$-2 ~ - > -\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$
Now, change the sign:
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$
So we have the <em>slope </em>of the line that's <em>perpendicular </em>to the given line.
Now, let's find the line's equation.
First, let's write it in Point-Slope Form:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=1/2(x-4)
y+2=1/2x-2 (Point slope)
Now, convert to slope-intercept:
y=1/2x+2-2
y=1/2x
