A- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Therefore a perpendicular line to 2x-8 will have a slope of -1/2. Once solved in slope intercept form, choice A shows a line of slope -2/4, equivalent to -1/2

Answer:

Choice A is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find a equation of line which is perpendicular to y=2x-8.

The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

y=mx+c is standard form of equation of line where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

given equation is :

y=2x-8

Compare above equation with standard form of equation of line,we get

m=2

The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Hence,  m=-1/2

4y=-2x+2

dividing by 4 to both sides of above equation ,we get

Choice A is:

4y/4=-2x+2/4

y=-2/4x+2/4

y=-1/2x+1/2

hence,choice A has slope equal to -1/2.

4y=-2x+2 is equatio of line perpendicular to y=2x-8.

So,choice A is the answer.

What is 3x+4= -15? How would you get a negative number?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x=-\frac{19}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4=-15

3x+4-4=-15-4

3x=-19

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-19}{3}

x=-\frac{19}{3}

If the line with the slope 5 that passes through the point (-1,3) intersects the x axis at a point, what are the coordinates of
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: (-8/5,0)

Step-by-step explanation: If the slope is 5, m = 5

For (-1,3) we have x₀= -1 and y₀ = 3, to find the line equation

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

y - 3 = 5(x - (-1))

y - 3 = 5(x + 1)

y - 3 = 5x + 5

y = 5x + 8

A P that intersects the x axis has y = 0

0 = 5x + 8

5x = -8

x = -8/5

P (-8/5,0)
