Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (3x +4 ) = 1/2
1/2 x 3x + 1/2 x 4 = 1/2
1.5 x + 2 = 1/2
1.5x = 1/2 -2
1.5x = -1.5
1.5x /1.5 = -1.5/1.5
x = -1

1/2 ( 3 x -1 + 4) =1/2
1/2 ( 1) =1/2
1/2 =1/2
4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
Answer:
Calculating (5 x 2) violates the order of operations
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the order of operations, multiplies all have equal priority. Therefore, they must be evaluated left to right, not right to left. Evaluating (5 x 2) first is incorrect, and instead (9 x 5) should be calculated first.
