Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 3. The slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, just flip the slope and change the sign.

slope = 2 or 2/1.....flip it.....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = - 1/2

(2,1)....x = 2 and y = 1

now we sub and find b, the y intercept

1 = -1/2(2) + b

1 = -1 + b

1 + 1 = b

2 = b

so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 2 <===

and u can check it with ur points....(2,1)

y = 2x - 3

1 = 2(2) - 3

1 = 4 - 3

1 = 1 (yep...it checks out)

Solve for m: <br> 8(m + 2) = 3(12 - 4m)
Tema [17]

Answer:

m=1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: 8(m + 2) = 3(12 - 4m) remove the parentheses

step 2: 8 m + 2 = 3 12 - 4m move the terms

step 3: 8m+ 12m= 36 - 16 collect like terms and calulate

step 4: 20m=20 divide both sides

solution: m=1

What is the perimeter, in units, of polygon UVWXYZ? Enter your answer in the box.
nikitadnepr [17]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The perimeter of the polygon UVWXYZ.

Solution:

All sides and vertical and horizontal. So, we can easily find the side lengths of the given polygon by counting the boxes between two points.

From the figure it is clear that,

UV = 9 units

VW = 2 units

WX = 3 units

XY = 3 units

YZ = 6 units

ZU = 5 units

Now, perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

Perimeter=UV+VW+WX+XY+YZ+ZU

Perimeter=9+2+3+3+6+5

Perimeter=28

Therefore, the perimeter of UVWXYZ is 28 units.

Write an inequality for the given graph.
Aliun [14]
Y=MX+B

M = slope

B = y intercept (number that intersects with the line in the y axis)

y=-3/4x+2

It starts on the y intercept (2) then we travel to the next point (4 on the x axis)

So we travel 3 spaces down (-3) landing on the origin (0,0) then four spaces to the right (4). Getting the slope of -3/4 (rise over run)

Then just plug in these into the equation

y = -3/4 + 2

7a^3(6a^2 + a)^2 - 4a^6


All we have to do here is basically add and subtract exponents!

(6a^2 + a)^2 = 36a^4 + a^2


7a^3(36a^4 + a^2) - 4a^6


252a^7 + 7a^5 - 4a^6


Answer is C.
