$\frac{|DC|+|AB|}{2}=|LM|\\\\|AB|=x+8;\ |LM|=4x+3;\ |DC|=187\\\\substitute:\\\\\frac{187+x+8}{2}=4x+3\ \ \ \ /\cdot2\\\\195+x=8x+6\ \ \ /-195;\ /-8x\\\\-7x=-189\ \ \ /:7\\\\\underline{\underline{x=27}}$

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2

Lesechka [4]

Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve w - 9 1/2 = 15? Add 15. Subtract 15. Add 9 1/2. Subtract 9 1

krek1111 [17]

You want to undo the (-9 1/2), so you will add 9 1/2 to each side

Find the equation of the straight line through (–2, 3) perpendicular<br> to 2x + y =8

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.

The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.

<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>

We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.

2x + y = 8

y = -2x + 8

The given line has slope -2.

The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

Our line has slope, m = 1/2.

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + b

Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.

y = 1/2 x + b

3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b

3 = -1 + b

4 = b

b = 4

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + 4

Answer: $y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4$
