Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2} x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the slope of the line EF

we have

y=-2x+7

The slope of the line EF is equal to

m=-2

Step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line EF

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of its slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=-2 -----> slope of the line EF

Find the value of m2

substitute

(-2)*m2=-1

m2=1/2

therefore

the equation y=\frac{1}{2} x-3 could be an equation for a line that is perpendicular to line EF

1.

When a line is given in the form y=mx+n, 

m is the slope of this line.

For example, the slope of the line y=-2x+7 is -2.

2. 

If lines y=mx+n and y=kx+t are perpendicular, then the multiplication of their slopes is -1, that is

m*k = -1, so k=-1/m

3.

any line perpendicular to y=-2x+7 has slope = -1/(-2)=1/2

4.

Among the choices, y=(1/2)x-3 is a line perpendicular to the given line.

Answer: 

b. y=(1/2)x-3

Answer:

$150012.84 or $150013 rounded

The growth factor is 1.07

Step-by-step explanation:

First create the equation:

y=1.07x+150,000

Then substitute:

y=1.07(12)+150,000

Calculate:

y=150012.84

Can someone answer this question please please help me I really need it if it’s correct I will mark you brainliest .
Harman [31]

Formula for the perimeter of a quarter circle: C = ((pi x 2r) / 4) + 2r

C = ((3.14 x 18) / 4) + 18

C = (56.52 / 4) + 18

C = 14.13 + 18

C = 32.13 miles

Hope this helps! :)

suppose a triangle has two sides of length 2 and 3 and that the angle between these two sides is 60. what is the length of the t
arlik [135]

Answer:

  √7 ≈ 2.646

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is applicable. It tells you ...

  c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(C) . . . . . where a, b, c are triangle side lengths, and angle C is opposite side c.

Filling in the given information, you have ...

  c² = 2² + 3² - 2·2·3·cos(60°) = 4 + 9 - 12·(1/2) = 7

  c = √7 ≈ 2.646

The length of the third side is √7, about 2.646 units.
