We are asked to find the equation of the line that passes through (2,5) and is perpendicular to y = 2x - 8
when 2 lines are perpendicular to each other the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line.
the slope of the perpendicular line is 2, then the slope of the line we are asked to find should have the negative reciprocal of 2 , that is -1/2
m = -1/2
We know x and y coordinates of one point, we can substitute
y = mx + c
y = 5, x = 2
5 = -1/2 *2 + c
5 = -1 + c
c = 6
the equation of the line is
y = -1/2x + 6

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 12x+10y=90

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

y=-6/5+9

Step-by-step explanation:

your going ro put it in y=mx+b format

so it would be ur equation 12x+10y=90

subtract 12x from both sides and get 10y=-12x+90

u have to get 10 by itself so you divide 10 to everything and get y=-12/10x+90/10

you have to simplify so get y=-6/5+9

STUV is a parallelogram. Solve for x.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

X = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the property of parallelogram

We know that, sum of angles at a same line is

180°

$35 + (14x + 5) = 180$

$40 + 14x = 180$

$14x = 140$

$x = \frac{140}{14}$

$x = 10$

Hope this helps u... ^_^❤️
