Perpendicular lines have the slopes which product is - 1:
m 1 * m 2 = - 1
First we must transform the first line to the slope-intercept form:
x + 2 y = 4
2 y = - x + 4  /:2
y = - 1/2 x + 2
Therefore: m 1 = - 1/2
( - 1/2 ) * m 2 = - 1
m 2 = ( - 1 ) : ( - 1/2 ) = ( - 1 ) * ( - 2 ) = 2
m = 2 ( this is the slope that we need for our equation )
Then we will charge it to the formula : y = m x + b ( which also passes through the point ( 1. 5 ) ):
5 = 2 * 1 + b
5 = 2 + b
b = 5 - 2
b = 3
Answer:
y = 2 x + 3

On three 150-point geography tests, you earned grades of 88%, 94%, and 90%. The final test is worth 250 points. What percent do y
Semmy [17]
You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.

We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:

0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135

The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700

93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.

Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651

Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243

Please I need an example of this to help me out…<br> (3.76 x 10^5)+(7.44 x 10^5)
Alika [10]

Answer:

1.12 x 10^6 or 1,120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You work out the first part which would be (3.76 x 10^5) or 376,000.

Then you work out the second part which would be (7.44 x 10^5) or 744,000.

Then you add them together and move the decimal over to where the number is less than ten but greater than 0 so it would be like this:

1.120000

But just cut all the zeros so it would be like this:

1.12

And how ever many times you move the decimal over is the number you put beside the ten by the way. it should look a little like this by the time you are done:

1.12 x 10^6
