Answer: y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1, that is , if m_{1} is the slope of the first line and m_{2} is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then m_{1}m_{2} = -1

The equation of the line given :

y = 1/2x - 1

comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept , it implies that

m_{1} = 1/2

Therefore :

m_{2} = -2

To find the equation of the line with slope -2  and passes through the point ( 3 , 4 ) we will use the formula

y-y_{1} = m (x-x_{1} )

y - 4 = -2 ( x - 3 )

y - 4 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 6 + 4

y = -2x + 10

Jacob is a plumber. Due to increased material costs, he puts all his prices up by 7%. He now chargers R320 per hour for her serv
Lorico [155]

Answer:

R290.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charge before he put his prices up

New charge = R320

Percentage increase in price = 7%

x + 7% of x = 320

x + 0.07 * x = 320

x + 0.07x = 320

1.07x = 320

x = 320/1.07

x = 299.06542056074

Approximately

x = R290.1

Charge before he put his prices up = R290.1

The ratio of boys to girls in Ms. smith’s class is 3 to 4. If there are 12 boys, how many girls are there?

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ There will be 16 girls.

The relationship is x4. If we multiply 3 x 4, we get 12. What we do to one number we do to the other so 4 x 4 = 16.

Find YW. YW = _<br><br> I just need the answer for YW no explanation needed.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

YW=20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other

The figure XYZW is a parallelogram

so

VW=VY

VX=VZ

<em>Find the value of b</em>

VW=VY

substitute the given values

b+8=5b

solve for b

5b-b=8\\4b=8\\b=2

Find the length of YW

YW=YV+VW ----> by addition segment postulate

YW=5b+b+8

substitute the value of b

YW=6(2)+8=20\ units
