Okay, to answer this question,
<span>Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse of one another and with opposite signs so,
If a line has a slope of m= -2 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=1/2
If a line has a slope of m= -3/4 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=4/3 If a line has a slope of m= 6 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=-1/6

So, just find the slope of your line, using it, get the slope of the line that will be perpendicular and then just get the equation for a line that has that slope and passes through point (-2,3) using: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
I hope I helped you with my answer</span>

A square has sides of length 2m + 1 divided by 2 units find the perimeter of the square

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

4m +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of the side:

$P=4\times\dfrac{2m+1}{2}=2(2m+1)=4m+2$

The perimeter of the square is 4m+2 units.

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown number of inche

Marat540 [252]

So remember that area of a rectangle is a = bh. In this case, our sides are 2 and n - 3 (three less than unknown number) and our area is 22. Using our info, we can form the equation: $22=2(n-3)$ . From here we can solve for n.
