If the line is perpendicular, then its slope is the reciprocal of the given line's slope. This new line's slope is 1/2. We plug it into slope-intercept form
y = 1/2x + b
Now plug in the given point of (2, 10) and solve for b.
10 = 1/2(2) + b
10 = 1 + b
9 = b
So your equation is y = 1/2x + 9
Answer:
She scored 1200 in all ten games
These are fractions? Like 13/20 and 7/10? Is so the symbol would be 13/20 < 7/10 because 7/10 is a higher fraction than 13/20
There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
