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

Find the value of c that completes the square
Kitty [74]

Answer:

c = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 16x + c

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 16x

x² + 2(- 8)x + 64

= (x - 8)²

Thus

x² - 16x + 64 = (x - 8)² ← a perfect square

with c = 64
