Answer:

The midpoint of the points (2,8) and (0,4) is given by:

)=(1,6)

We must must transform the standard form equation −3x+6y=5 into a slope-intercept form equation (y=mx+b) to find its slope.

−3x+6y=5 (Subtract 3x on both sides.)

6y=3x+5 (Divide both sides by 6.)

y=

The slope of our first line is equal to

2

1

. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so if the slope of one is x, the slope of the other is

x

1

.

The negative reciprocal of

2

1

is equal to −2, therefore, −2 is the slope of our line.

Since the equation of line passing through the midpoint (1,6), therefore, substitute the given point in the equation y=−2x+b:

6=(−2×1)+b

6=−2+b

b=6+2=8

Substitute this value for b in the equation y=−2x+b:

y=−2x+8

Hence, the equation of the line is y=−2x+8.

I need help with 20.
irinina [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

why ? you did it right there already.

the numerator is the top part of the fraction, the "counting" part (how many units of a certain type or size are there).

the denominator (the bottom part) is defining the type or size of units described by the fraction.

so, we are adding 4 to the numerator of 2/5, making it (2+4)/5 = 6/5

what do we need to add to the denominator (the bottom part) to make the fraction have the value of 1/2 ?

so, what x would make 6/x = 1/2 ?

6 = x/2

x = 6×2 = 12

so, we need to get 12 in the denominator, where we have currently 5.

therefore, we need to add 12-5 = 7 to it.

so that

6/(5+7) = 6/12 = 1/2
