1/2x + 16 = 36
1/2x = 36 - 16
1/2x = 20
x = 20 * 2
x = 40 <== he started with 40

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to y=1 – 2x.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

is the line are perpendicular then the product of there slope is -1

the slope of the first equation is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

m1+m2=-1

2+m2=-1

m2=-1-2

m2=-3

so the second equation became y=-3x+C

then insert the point (-1,2)

2=-3*-1+C

2=3+C

C=2-3

C=-1

so y=-3x-1

Write an equation for a linear function whose graph has the given characteristics.
BaLLatris [955]
G(x) = 6x + 2....the slope here is 6. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal slope, we flip the original slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/6. (see how I flipped 6 (or 6/1) and made it 1/6, then I changed the sign and made it -1/6)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/6
(42,0)....x = 42 and y = 0
now we sub and find b, the y int
0 = -1/6(42) + b
0 = -7 + b
7 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/6x + 7....or f(x) = -1/6x + 7
