Equation of a perpendicular line (-2,-3); 2y +4x =8

Mathematics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]4 years ago
5 0

If you want a line perpendicular to that containing (-2,-3):

1. put equation in slope-intercept form

2y=-4x+8

y=-2x+4

2. find the slope of the perpendicular line:

the slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

so, the original slope is -2

the opposite reciprocal is 1/2

3. find b

the point slope equation is y=mx+b

-add slope

y=(1/2)x+b

- use your point (-2,-3) to plug in known values for x and y

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

-solve

-3=-1(b)

b=3


your equation is y=(1/2)x+3

Steve is about to take his fifth math test. His scores on the first four test were 84, 92, 71, and 94. What score does Steve nee
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  84

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the differences of the current scores from average is ...

  (84 -85) +(92 -85) +(71-85) +(94 -85) = -1 +7 -14 +9 = 1

So, to make the total of all differences from average be zero, Steve must get a score of 85 -1 = 84 on his 5th test.
