Alright, I don't know what your choices are, but here's my input:
For a line to be perpendicular to another line, the slope needs to be the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line. Now, by opposite, I mean if your slope is positive, this one needs to be negative (or vice versa). For reciprocal, I mean flip the fraction over. In this case, we have a slope of 2, so its opposite is -2 & the reciprocal is -1/2. So, whatever line has a slope of -1/2 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

melamori03 [73]

Answer:Incorrect.

For example, two equations with same y intercept.

y = 2x + 3

y = 5x + 3

This system has only one solution.

Another example,

y = x + 7

y = x + 7

This system has infinitely many solutions.

So she is not correct because of the first example.

44. You can come to this answer by using algebra,
1/2x = 22
Multiply both sides by 2(denominator) thus,
X = 44.
Or you can use lateral thinking and realise that if 22 is 50%, you need to multiply by 2 to reach 100%.
