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.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

5x - 4y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

5x - 4y = 36 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 4y = - 5x + 36 ( divide all terms by - 4 )

y = \frac{5}{4} x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{5}{4}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = \frac{5}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (8, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 10 = - 8

y = \frac{5}{4} x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 4

4y = 5x - 32 ( subtract 4y from both sides )

0 = 5x - 4y - 32 ( add 32 to both sides )

32 = 5x - 4y, that is

5x - 4y = 32 ← in standard form

Can someone please help me with this multiple choice question?
iVinArrow [24]
1) the small and large triangles are similar, then we can write:

x/24 = 8/18
Cross multiplication → 18x = 24.8 → 18x = 192 and x = 192/18

and x = 32/3 Or 10 ²/³

2) Δ ABC is similar to Δ EDC Since:

∠A = ∠D = 90°

∠C is common
