The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:
2 = 5 + b
b= -3
That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3
Answer:
(D) (a + 4)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, you need to subtract the first equation from the second.
9p = 3a + 1
<u>- 7p = 2a - 3</u>
2p = 1a + 4
Now, you need to rearrange the equation so that is equal to p.
2p = a + 4
(2p)/2 = (a + 4)/2
p = (a + 4)/2
This gives you answer choice D.
The answer to the first question is 30.
If two tangent segments to a circle share a
common endpoint outside a circle, then the two segments are congruent. This
is according to the intersection of two tangent theorem. The theorem states
that given a circle, if X is any point
within outside the circle and if Y and Z are points such that XY and XZ are
tangents to the circle, then XY is equal to XZ.
