Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope given two point by

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (3- -1)/(1 -2)

= (3+1)/(-1)

=4/-1

=-4

Here's an image! This is the slope.

The slope is also -4.

You would minus 5 by 45 giving you 40 then 40 divided by 35 but that would come out as a decimal 1.14.
is this all of the question?

find the point-slope equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=2x+5 passing through the point (1,4). (please include solu

pishuonlain [190]

First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5$ .

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}$

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)$

How the heck do I do this? And what’s the answer?

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two expressions that, when simplified, give the same results.

1) First, simplify the expression stated in the question. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. This would mean you have to multiply both 9x and -6 by $\frac{2}{3}$ . You also have to multiply $\frac{1}{2}x$ and $-\frac{1}{2}$ by 4. Then, simplify.

$\frac{2}{3}(9x-6) + 4 (\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2})\\\frac{18}{3}x- \frac{12}{3} + \frac{4}{2}x -\frac{4}{2} \\6x - 4 + 2x - 2$

2) Now, combine the like terms.

$6x - 4 + 2x - 2$

$8x - 6$

So, we need to find which of the expressions listed equal 8x - 6.

3) Let's try option A. Do the same as before. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. So, multiply 4x and -12 by $\frac{3}{4}$ . Also, multiply 30x and 18 by $\frac{1}{6}$ . Then, combine like terms and simplify.
