(Please help I suck at geometry!) Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line AB below in slope-intercept form that passes

through the point (7, 6). Line AB is shown. A is at 0, 1. B is at negative 2, 5. (6 points) y = 0.5x + 2.5 y = 0.5x − 2.5 y = −2x + 20 y = 2x − 20

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5/2

P.S, this isn't geometry really. It's more like algebra :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find equation of line AB

m = (5 - 1)/(-2 - 0)

m = 4/-2

m = -2

y = -2x + 1

Step 2: Find slope of perpendicular line

<em>Take the negative reciprocal of line AB</em>

m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

Step 3: Find <em>b</em>

6 = 1/2(7) + b

6 = 7/2 + b

b = 5/2

Step 4: Rewrite perpendicular equation

y = 1/2x + 5/2

or

y = 0.5x + 2.5

It took a skydiver 15 seconds to drop 450 feet. What is the
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

30feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in feet per seconds of the diver will be the speed of the diver.

Speed is the rate of change in distance of a body.

Speed = Distance/Time

Given distance or height of drop = 450feet

Time = 15seconds

Rate of change in distance = 450/15

Rate of change in distance = 30feet/second

I need help with this V-4=v+2+7v-42 ??
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{v \ = \ \frac{36}{7}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract v from both sides

\bold{v-4-v=v+2+7v-42-v}

Simplify

\bold{-4=2+7v-42}

Switch sides

\bold{2+7v-42=-4}

Group like terms

\bold{7v+2-42=-4}

Subtract the numbers: 2 - 42 = -40

\bold{7v-40=-4}

Add 40 to both sides

\bold{7v-40+40=-4+40}

Simplify

\bold{7v=36}

Divide both sides by 7

\bold{\frac{7v}{7}=\frac{36}{7}}

Simplify

➤ \bold{v=\frac{36}{7}}

∠A and ∠B are vertical angles. ∠A = 65x − 12 and ∠B = 43x + 10 How many degrees are in ∠A?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent so...

65x-12=43x+10

22x=22

x=1

Then add it into the equation of ∠A

m∠A= 65(1)-12

65-12

53
