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

Which choice is equivalent to the expression below √-12
kondaur [170]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}, hence

\sqrt{-12}

= \sqrt{4(3)(-1)} = \sqrt{4} × \sqrt{3} × \sqrt{-1} [\sqrt{-1} = i]

= 2i\sqrt{3} → E

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

A water faucet is turned 1/7 to the right and then 3/4 to the right again.

=> In total, that water faucet turned 1/7 + 3/4 = 4/28 + 21/28 = 25/28 to the right.

Hope this helps!
