the equation of a line is y=-1/2x-2. what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes through
the point (2, –2)?
1 answer:
Perpendicular means that the slopes are negartive inverses, aka
slope1 times slope2=-1
y=mx+b
slope=m
y=-1/2x-2
slope=-1/2
we need to find negative inverse
-1/2 times what=-1
answer is 2
y=2x+b
input the point (2,-2) to find b
(x,y)
(2,-2)
-2=2(2)+b
-2=4+b
minus 4 from both sides
-6=b
y=2x-6
the equtaion is y=2x-6

The answer is the top one.
22 = p* 55
divide by 55
22/55 = p
.4 = p
40 percent
24 = .40 * m
divide by .40
24/.4 = m
60 = m
