Answer:

y=-0.5x+4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y=2x-6 is:

  • 2

The negative reciprocal of that slope is:

  • m=-\frac{1}{2}

So the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2:

  • y - y_1 = (-\frac{1}{2} )(x - x_1)

And now put in the point (1,5):

  • y-5=(-\frac{1}{2})(x-1)

And that answer is OK, but let's also put it in y=mx+b form:

  • y-5=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}
  • y=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{11}{2}
  • y=-0.5x+4.5

In which of the following ways are linear systems similar to quadratic systems? Select all that apply.
alex41 [277]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:


A) Both can be solved by graphing;

C) Both can be solved by substitution; and

D) Both have solutions at the points of intersection.


Explanation:


Just as a system of linear equations can be solved by graphing, a system of quadratic equations can as well. We graph both equations. We then look for the intersection points of the graphs; these intersection points will be the solutions to the system.


We can also solve the system by substitution. If we can get one variable isolated, we can substitute this into the other equation to solve.

Help plz???? I need help with math

Surface area is the area of the faces added together.

First lets find the area of one of the triangles.

Area of triangle is 1/2*base*hight

Area=1/2*2*3= 3

Area of ONE tringle is 3, and area of the FOUR tringles is 4*3 whihc is 12

Now lets find area of square

area of square is side*side

So, area is 2*2 which is 4

Now lets add area of triangles+area of square

12+4 which 16

Surface area is 16

Can you have a negative square? Why or Why not?
Inga [223]

Answer:

Yes, you can square a negative number. In fact, any number at all can be squared, even numbers like pi and 0. This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2) (-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.
