Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,3) and is perpendicular to y = 1 − 2 x

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 1/2 and -2, 3/4 and -4/3)

<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>

$y = 1 -2x$

Rearrange into slope-intercept form:

$y = -2x+1$

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope is -2. Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, a perpendicular line would have a slope of $\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b$

<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>

$y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point (1,3) and solve for <em>b</em>:

$3=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} *1+b\\\\b=\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}$

Therefore, the y-intercept is $\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}$ . Plug this back into $y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}$

I hope this helps!

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$
