Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this line, we must first find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

-4x + 2y = 2

2y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 1

This shows us a slope of 2. TO find the perpendicular slope, we use the opposite and reciprocal. This means we negative 2 to get -2 and then we flip it to get -1/2. Now that we have this, we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = -1/2(x - 2)

y + 2 = -1/2x + 1

y = -1/2x - 1

oee [108]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function describes a straight line with constant gradient. Hence A is the answer as it has a constant gradient of -1 .

B is wrong as the graph has an undefined gradient.

C is wrong as it has an increasing gradient.

D is wrong as it does not have a constant gradient too.

The hour hand on a clock is 4 cm long, and the minute hand is 10 cm long. What is the exact distance between the tips of the han
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2 sqrt(19)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angle between the two hands

360 /12 *2 = 60 degrees

We divide by 12 because there are 12 number and multiply by 2 because there are 2 number between 10 and 12

This is a triangle where we know 2 sides and the angle between them.

We can use the law of cosines to determine the third side

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcosC

Where C is the angle between sides a and b

a =4 and b = 10  C = 60  and we are looking for side c

c^2 = 4^2 + 10^2 -2*4*10 cos60

c^2 =16+100 - 80cos 60

c^2 = 76

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(76)

c = sqrt(76)

c =sqrt(4) sqrt(19)

c =2 sqrt(19)
