Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is y=2x+5

By comparing it with the y=mx+b

we say that the slope of the given line is m=2

The concept is that the slope of a perpendicular line is given by -1/m.

Hence the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

-\frac{1}{2}

Identify the value of a if
Serga [27]

Answer:

a=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

from the point on the graph

x=4 and y=8

substitute them into the equation:

y=a(x-2) (2x+4)

you will get

8=a(4-2) (2(4)+4)

8=a(2) (8+4)

8=a(2) (12)

8=2a×12

8=24a

divide both sides by 24

8/24=24a/24

1/3=a or a=1/3

The area is: ½ × 20 × tan18° × 10 × 10 = 1000 × tan18°

≈ 324.9
