Hey there!!
Steps to get into equation which is perpendicular:
- The slope of a perpendicular line is always negative reciprocal.
- Take the point and get that into point-slope form.
- y - y = m ( x - x )
- Convert this equation into slope-intercept form.
'm' is the slope.
We have the slope as 1/3
The perpendicular slope would be -3.
Point slope:
The point = (-2,2)
y - 2 = -3( x - (-2) )
y - 2 = -3(x+2)
y - 2 = -3x -6
Adding 2 on both sides:
y = -3x - 4
<em>Hence, the equation would be : </em>
<u><em>y = -3x - 4 </em></u>
Hope it helps!
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
∠EFG and ∠GFH are a linear pair, m∠EFG = 3n+ 21, and m∠GFH = 2n + 34. What are m∠EFG and m∠GFH?
Solution:
Two angles are said to form a linear pair if they share a base. Linear pair angles are adjacent angles formed along a line as a result of the intersection of two lines. Linear pairs are always supplementary (that is they add up to 180°).
m∠EFG = 3n + 21, m∠GFH = 2n + 34. Both angles form linear pairs, hence:
m∠EFG + m∠GFH = 180°
3n + 21 + (2n + 34) = 180
3n + 2n + 21 + 34 = 180
5n + 55 = 180
5n = 125
n = 25
Therefore, m∠EFG = 3(25) + 21 = 96°, m∠GFH = 2(25) + 34 = 84°
You would times 20 and 15 to get 300 and then divide 300 by 25 to get 12
