Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get . We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 -
=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 -
=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7=
. We divide both sides by
to get
, which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by
(which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to
. Let's finish this by simplifying it.
(2x
). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it
.
Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope-intercept </u><u>form</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
Line p: y= -8x +6
slope= -8
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of line q be m.
m(-8)= -1
m= -1 ÷(-8)
m= ⅛
Substitute m= ⅛ into the equation:
y= ⅛x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation.
When x= 2, y= -2,
-2= ⅛(2) +c
Thus, the equation of line q is .
