Y = (-1/2)x - 3
This line has a slope of -1/2.
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 2.

y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line
We have the point (6, -4) as a point on the given line. We can use these as the values of x and y in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

-4 = 2(6) + b
-4 = 12 + b
-16 = b
This tells us that the line perpendicular to the given line has a y-intercept of -16. The equation of that line is:

y = 2x - 16

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the standard form on an equation:  y = mx + b

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line.  We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..

1 = -(1/2)(6) + b           We must solve for b (  -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)

1 = -3 + b

4 = b  

so our equation is

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Two intelligent, honest students are sitting together at lunch one day when their math teacher hands them each a card. “your car
Lady bird [3.3K]
Answer: The loser's card shows 6.

Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
4     3
5     3
6     2
6     3
9     2
12  1
15  1
18  1

Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
6     2
6     3

Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.

2     6
3     6

Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.

What is the graph of the solution to the following compound inequality?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

<h2>C.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<, > - open circle

≤, ≥ - solid circle

<, ≤ - draw to the left

>, ≥ - draw to the right

3-x\geq2\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\-x\geq-1\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{x\leq1}\\\\4x+2\geq10\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\4x\geq8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{x\geq2}

Each coffee pot hold 6 cups of coffee we sell 10 cups of coffee every fifteen minutes how many pots of coffee do I need to make
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

7 pots of coffee (If you want to be precise its 6 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you need 10 cups of coffe in fifteen minutes, so 60/15=4 then time 10. so 40 is how much coffee you need in a hour, but we are solving the pot so 40/6= 6 2/3. but it says how many pots so we round it up so its 7. (Unless you wanna be precise)
