Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{2}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} } = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 6 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

Solve for X.<br><br>I've tried and it's confusing I'm not really that great at geometry
Nutka1998 [239]
Set as a proportion
16 = 12
------------------
5x+2 24

cross multiply
12(5x+2) = 16 * 24
60x +24 = 384
60x +24-24 = 384-24
60x =360
60x/60=360/60
x =6

To figure AB plug 6 into 5x+2
5x +2

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of 4 and passes through then point (3,-10)?
Fynjy0 [20]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~<u>Hello There</u>!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ Substitute the x and y values into the equation:

y = mx + c

'm' is the slope, which we know is 4

-10 = 4(3) + c

- 10 = 12 + c

c = -22

The equation is y = 4x -22

➶ Good Luck (:

ASAP!! (12y + 8) (5y + 2) 2x st (sy​
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

y = 10

x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

the equations containing y are adjacent angles in a parallelogram, meaning that they are supplementary, so we can create an equation:

5y + 2 + 12y + 8 = 180

solve this to get y = 10

the equation for x would be 2x + 5y + 8 = 180 because these angles are also supplementary

solve this to get x = 64
