Answer:

2x + y - 1 = 0

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 )

Given

x - 2y + 4 = 0 ( subtract x + 4 from both sides )

- 2y = - x - 4 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 2 ← 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 of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (1, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 1 + 2 = 1

y = - 2x + 1 ← in slope intercept form

Subtract - 2x + 1 from both sides

2x + y - 1 = 0 ← in general form

Identify the underlined place in 83.5851. Then, round the number to that place.
djyliett [7]
So assuming the underlined decimal is the second 8, let's answer the question.

Hundreds: 0 | Tens: 8 | ones: 3 | . | tenths: 5 | hundredths: 8 | thousandths: 5 | 10 thousandths: 1

So since the second 8 is in the hundredths place, we know it's either B or C.

When we round for 5, we always round up, so the answer would be 83.59

So the answer is B.

Hope this helped! If you have any more questions or don't understand please comment or DM me. :)

How to draw a line that passrs through the origion and has a slope of 2/3?
Tcecarenko [31]
The origin is (0,0)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/3
(0,0)...x = 0 and y = 0
now we sub and find b, the y int
0 = 2/3(0) + b
0 = b

so ur equation is y = 2/3x + 0...or just y = 2/3x

Hacksaw’s Boats of St. Lucia takes tourists on a daily whale/dolphinwatch cruise. Their brochure claims an 80% chance of siting
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The probability you see a dolphin or a whale on both days is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the brochure claims an 80% chance of siting a dolphin or a whale.

The provided claims can be written as: 80% or 0.80

Let say first day you see a dolphin or a whale and same happen on the next day.

Thus, the probability is:

0.80 × 0.80 = 0.64

Probability of see them on both days is 0.64

Hence, the probability you see a dolphin or a whale on both days is 0.64

Which inequality represents the values of that ensure triangle exists? a triangle with these side lengths: AC = 18 units, BC = 6
erastovalidia [21]

AC = 18

BC = 6x

AB = 2x + 4


Write and solve:

18 + 6x + 2x + 4

18 + 8x + 4 = 180


You can solve further:

18 + 8x = 176

8x = 158

x = 19 & 3/4


Not 100% sure what the question is asking, but hopefully this helps.
