Answer:

it would be Y= -2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, we know that the b value is 4, because that is the x-intercept that is information given, so we can atomatically put that in.

Next we need to find the m value, which can be found by knowing the rules of a perpendicular eqution. to change it you must change the 1/2 and flip the equation and change the signs

soooooo 1/2 would change into 2/1 which is 2 and we would addd the negative sign so

Y=-2x+4

Answer:

the desired equation is y = -2x + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line with slope 1/2, we find the negative reciprocal of that to obtain the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line: m = -2.

Recall that at an x-intercept, y = 0. Here we're told that the x-intercept is (4, 0). Therefore, y = mx + b becomes 0 = -2(4) + b, or b = 8.

Then the desired equation is y = -2x + 8.

Are congruent triangles also similar?

jonny [76]

Answer: yes they are

Step-by-step explanation:

If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

You are given a side, a, and its opposite angle, A. You are also given side b. Use that in the law of sines and solve for the other angle, B.

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B}$

$\dfrac{10}{\sin 30^\circ} = \dfrac{40}{\sin B}$

$\dfrac{1}{0.5} = \dfrac{4}{\sin B}$

$\sin B = 2$

The sine function can never equal 2, so there is no triangle in this case.

Answer: no triangle

Second question:

You are given a side, b, and its opposite angle, B. You are also given side c. Use that in the law of sines and solve for the other angle, C.

$\dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

$\dfrac{10}{\sin 63^\circ} = \dfrac{}{\sin C}$

$\sin C = \dfrac{8.9\sin 63^\circ}{10}$

$C = \sin^{-1} \dfrac{8.9\sin 63^\circ}{10}$

$C \approx 52.5^\circ$

One triangle exists for sure. Now we see if there is a second one.

Now we look at the supplement of angle C.

m<C = 52.5°

supplement of angle C: m<C' = 180° - 52.5° = 127.5°

We add the measures of angles B and the supplement of angle C:

m<B + m<C' = 63° + 127.5° = 190.5°

Since the sum of the measures of these two angles is already more than 180°, the supplement of angle C cannot be an angle of the triangle.

Answer: one triangle

Consider the function given by the graph. What are these values?

Natalija [7]

As you see in the picture, there are two lines that could maybe represent two linear functions. However, this is not true because of the solid point and the hollow point. This is an inequality equation that has points of discontinuity.

Points of discontinuity are breaks in the graph that are a result of an undefined point when the f(x) is substituted with a point of x that is not part of the solution. So, technically, the graph is made from one rational expression.

So, when it says f(-2), this is the y-value at x=-2. That means f(-2)=2, f(0)=3 and f(4)=-1. Specifically, there are two points at x=0, but we take the solid point only.
