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

Answer:

Freezer B has 8 more cubic feet than Freezer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Freezer A = 8 * 4 * 2 = 64 ft^3.

Volume of Freezer B = 6 * 4 * 3 = 72 ft^3.

72 - 64 = 8 ft^3.

Product in standard form (explain)<br> (3+6i)(4+9i)

ololo11 [35]

First you have to factor (aka, multiply) your binomial (which is what you have written) usually it helps to organize your thinking, and help tell what you need to multiply, to use the binomial chicken(or crab claw, what ever you want to call it) which basically you draw two arches, one arch connecting the 3 and 4, and then the other the 3 and 9i. on the opposite side (depending on wheater you connected then from the top or bottom) you connect (with an arch) the 6i and the four, and then the 6i to the 9i.

so now you multiply each piece you've connected:
3 x 4= 12
3 x 9i= 27i
6i x 4= 24i
6i x 9i= 54i^2

after you've done this you can move on to putting it into standard form, which just means you put things in descending order, depending on how many exponents the x (or in this case i) has.
your largest exponent is 54i^2, so that's first in out equation, next 27i, and 24i (you can combine these because they are like term) which equals 51i, after that you just add the 12 on the end, so the final equation looks like this:

54i^2+51i+12
