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

Which of the following could be the side measures of a right triangle?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle by Pythagorean's Theorem.  So, the only one that works is 3^2+4^2=5^2 because 9+16=25.
