Answer:

y = - 2 x

Step-by-step explanation:

The catch to this one (and there is a catch) is that the y intercept is at 0,0.

All you need is the slope and that means you have to solve the equation for y

2y = 4x - 6y + 4     Add 6y to both sides

2y + 6y = 4x + 4    Combine terms on the left

8y = 4x + 4            Divide by 8

y = 4x/8 + 4/8       Reduce 4/8 to 1/2

y = 4x/8 + 1/2

y = 1/2 x + 1/2

Nowyou are all set to answer the question.

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1 = 1/2  because the coefficient in front of the x is the slope (5/8 in this case). m1 and m2 are both slopes.

1 /2 * m2 = - 1        multiply both sides by 2

(1/2)*(2)*m2 = -1 * (2)

m2 = - 2

The slope of the equation you want is - 2

y = -2 x is the answer

The graph below shows the two equations.

Is 12 a solution to the equation × - 8 = 20? Explain how you know.
jeyben [28]

We have the following:

x-8=20

solving for x

\begin{gathered} x=20+8 \\ x=28 \end{gathered}

The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation

How can you determine the type of the triangle based on the lengths of the sides in a triangle?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

You can determine the type of triangle using the following facts related to the converse of the pythag theorem

if a^2 + b^2 > c^2, then it is an obtuse triangle

if a^2+b^2<c^2, then it is an acute triangle

finally, if a^2+b^2=c^2, then it is a right triangle

<u><em>NOTE THAT C ALWAYS EQUALS THE LONGEST LENGTH OF THE TRIANGLE!!!</em></u>

An arborist examined trees in an orchard to see if they were infected with a virus. Out of 90 trees, 40% had the virus. How many
Harman [31]

Answer:

36 trees were infected with the virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of trees =  90

Percentage of tree that had virus  40%

To find:

Number of tress that were infected by virus = ?

Solution:

Let the number trees that was affected by the virus be X.

then

X = 40% of 90

X = \frac{40}{100} \times 90

X = 0.4 \times 90

X= 36
