(2,-2)(4,10)
slope = (10 - (-2) / (4 - 2) = (10 + 2) / 2 = 12/2 = 6
The slope of the original equation is 6, but we are looking for a perpendicular line, so we need the negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. 6 or 6/1.....flip it...1/6...change the sign....-1/6. So we will need the slope of -1/6.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/6
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
1 = -1/6(2) + b
1 = -1/3 + b
1 + 1/3 = b
3/3 + 1/3 = b
4/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/6x + 4/3

IgorC [24]
If the total bill is $85, and you want to leave a 15% tip, then you can calculate it as follows:

85 * 15%

= 85 * 15/100

= 85 * 0.15

= 12.75

The amount that should be left as a tip is D. $12.75.

If it doesn't give me the perimeter, how do i find x from this? thank you!​
Mariulka [41]

The way the angles are labeled tell you that they are all congruent. The two triangles you see here also share the side that joins them. Then by the angle-side-angle postulate, the two triangles are congruent, so x + 23 = 13, or x = -10.
