What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, -6) and is

Mathematics

Vikentia [17]3 years ago

Answer: y= 2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To be able to write the equation of the line, you want to be able to find the slope first. To do so, rearrange the given equation x+2y=2 into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b

First subtract x from both side, which will give us 2y=2-x. Rearrange this to get 2y= -x+2. Then, divide both sides by 2. This will give us y= -1/2x+1

2. Now that you have the equation, look for the slope in the new equation; this will be the m value. In this case, the slope is -1/2. Since we are looking for a line that is perpendicular, we have to change the slope so that it is the opposite reciprocal. The opposite reciprocal of -1/2 is 2, so the slope of the equation we want to find is 2.

3. Next, all we have to do is plug the given ordered pair (-5, -6) and the slope that we found (m=2) into the point-slope equation, which is y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )

That will give us:

y+6 = 2(x+5)

4. Now, solve this equation.

y+6 = 2(x+5)  --> distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

y+6 = 2x + 10  --> subtract 6 from both sides

y= 2x +4

16.8 - (-23.72)+(-31.3) = x
KatRina [158]

Let's solve  your equation step-by-step

16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x

Step 1:simplify both sides of the equation

16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x

16.8+23.72+-31.3=x

(16.8+23.72+-31.3)=x (combine like terms)

9.22=x

9.22=x

Step 2: flip the equation

Answer: x=9.22

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

OC = OB ( both radii of the circle )

Thus Δ BOC is isosceles with congruent base angles.

∠ BOC = ∠ BCO = 50°

(b)

∠ ACB = 90° ( angle in a semicircle ), then

∠ ACO = 90° - 50° = 40°

OA = OC ( both radii of the circle )

Thus Δ ACO is isosceles with congruent base angles.

∠ BAC = ∠ ACO = 40°
