You would need two different lines to complete this as lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular (these are opposites). The answers would be:

Parallel: x = 2

Perpendicular: y = -2

In order to find these, we first need to see that the original line of x = -1 is a horizontal line. Therefore, any line that is parallel should be horizontal as well. To get a horizontal line through the point (2, -2), the only option is x = 2.

Similarly, with the perpendicular line, if the original line is horizontal, the new line must be vertical. The only vertical line that goes through (2, -2) is y = -2.

What is the square root of 6 ?
Finger [1]
It's an irrational number ... it can never be written down on paper exactly.

The beginning of it is  2.449489...  and it keeps going forever.

You might think that using only part of a number in a problem makes your
answer wrong.  In a way that's true.  But if you use 2.449489 for the square-
root of 6, then your final answer is only about  0.00003  percent wrong, and
that's close enough ... even if you're building bridges or spacecraft.

"But", you say, "How can I hand in an answer on my homework that's wrong ?"

Here's a secret that's so big that nobody ever talks about it. Once you know it,
it'll change your whole way of thinking.  And you'll stop fishing for answers on
the internet:

The answers in homework don't matter !   The answer is the least important
part of any homework problem, and nobody needs it.  If your teacher needed
an answer, then he/she could get it a lot faster by working out the problem. 
If he/she didn't have time to work on it, then the teacher would go to somebody
who knows it cold ... they certainly wouldn't ask somebody who's just learning
it for the first time.

The purpose of the homework is NOT to generate answers.  It's to lead you
down the path of learning how to do the problem.  When somebody else gives
you the answer and you hand it in, 2 things happen: 

#1: you cheat;
#2: you don't learn anything.

It's a bad deal all around.

Answer:

There are three liters of milk in each of the new containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the milk from the two fullest containers. Both of those have 4 1/2 liters of milk. Add them together, this makes 9 liters of milk. He then divides the milk evenly into three new containers, so divide 9 by 3. This makes 3 liters of milk per container.

What is an equation for the line that passes through (-2,-3) with a slope of -1/2?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope form of a line substituting m = -1/2 and the point (-2,-3).

y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y --3=-\frac{1}{2}(x--2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)

Convert to standard form by applying the distributive property and rearranging the terms.

y + 3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}x -1\\2y + 6 = -x -2\\x+2y + 6 = -2\\x + 2y = -8

The equation x +2y = -8 is the same equation as 4y + 2x = -16 just doubled----> 2x + 4y = -16
