Answer:

y=0.5x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

Copy the equation.

x-2y=8

Subtract x from both sides.

-2y=-x-8

Divide both sides by -2.

y=0.5x+4

Now we know the slope is 0.5.

Any line with a slope of 0.5 will be perpendiculr to the original line.

One that you can use is y=0.5x+40.

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 2 x + 1 = 17.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 17

x^2 + 2x = 17 - 1

x^2 + 2x = 16

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 16 + 1

(x + 1)(x + 1) = 17

(x + 1)^2 = 17

x + 1 = sqrt 17

x = -1 (+ - ) sqrt 17

x = -1 + sqrt 17 or x = -1 - sqrt 17 <===

Which ordered pairs is a solution to −5x + 3y > 12?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer :-

Given inequality ,

-5x +3y > 12
3y > 5x + 12
y > 5/3x + 12/3
y > 5/3x + 4

From the options ,

When x is 3 and y = 9

y >1* 5 + 4
y > 5 +4
9> 9 ( Not possible )

When x is -5 y is 5

y > 5/3*-5 + 4
y > -8.3 + 4
5 > -3.7 ( Possible )

When x is 3 y is -6

y > 5 + 4
-6 > 9 ( Not possible )

When x is -2 y is -5

y > -3.33 + 4
-5 > -0.67 ( Possible )

When x is 2 y is 8

y > 3.33 + 4
8 > 7.77 ( possible )

When x is -6 y is 0

y > -10 +4
0 > -6 ( possible )
