A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other.  In order to write the equation of a line perpendicular to the one given, we need to find the slope of the given line and then take the opposite reciprocal of it.  The current form the line is in does not give us a clear idea of what the slope is.  We will first put the given line into slope-intercept form (right now it's in standard form, which is not helpful for anything at all!).  Solving the given equation for y:

12y = -2x - 1 and

y=-\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{1}{12} (notice I reduced the slope's fraction from -2/12)

That means that the slope of the given line is -1/6.  So the perpendicular slope is positive 6/1 or just 6.  

Using that slope and the given point in point-slope form to write the equation:

y - 9 = 6(x - 0) and

y - 9 = 6x - 0 and

y = 6x + 9

There you go!

Hi there!

\large\boxed{2, -9}

We can create an equation for the line PR using the given coordinates. Use the following formula for the slope:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Plug in the coordinates for P and R:

m = \frac{-5-(-1)}{-1-(-4)} = -\frac{4}{3}

Find the equation by using point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Plug in a coordinate and the slope:

y - (-5) = -4/3(x - ( - 1))

Simplify:

y + 5 = -4/3(x + 1)

To find the y-coordinate if x = 2, plug in the x value:

y + 5 = -4/3(2 + 1)

y + 5 = -4/3(3)

y + 5 = -4

y = -9

Thus, the coordinate is (2, -9)

If m∠ATB = 20°, m∠BTD = 72°, and m∠CTD = 38°, what is m∠ATC?
Ber [7]

Answer: m∠ATC = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that:

m∠ATB = 20° and  m∠BTD = 72°

then we must have that the angle between A and D, is equal to the sum of the angles between A and B, and B and D, or:

m∠ATD = m∠ATB + m∠BTD = 20° + 72° = 92°

Now, we also know that m∠CTD = 38°

And the angle:

m∠ATC  will be equal to the angle between A and D, minus the angle between C and D, or:

m∠ATC = m∠ATD - m∠CTD = 92° - 38° = 54°
