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:

y = 3x -18 ( where y =  balls sent back by Rudolf; x= balls  given to Rudolf)

Step-by-step explanation:

x (Balls given)       y( Balls sent back)

8                             6                    Δy/Δx  = (27-6)/(15-8) =  3

15                            27

25                           57                 Δy/Δx  = (57-27)/(25-15) =  3

Observing the number sequence shows constant gradient and as such we can use equation of a straight line to relate the two variables.

Using the equation of a straight line we have:

(y-y1)/(x-x1) =  (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y-6/x-8  =       (27-6)/(15-8)

y-6/x-8  =    3

y-6        =  3(x-8)

y-6  = 3x - 24

y = 3x-18
