Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 2x+y=4 .so slope(m1) = - coefficient of x / coefficient of y= -2/1=-2

we have slope of the line perpendicular to the other line is m1*m2=-1\
then slope of the line perpendicular to the line 2x+y=4 is -2*m2=-1\
then -2/-1=m2 therefore m2 =2 .

Answer:

-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope is 2, the opposite of that is -0.5. Take the fractions and flip them. 2 is 2/1. If you reverse 2/1, you get -1/2.

Solve each Inequality. Write your answer 2.) x + 9 > 16 o

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

o< 1/16x + 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+9>16o

Flip the equation.

16o<x+9

Divide both sides by 16.

16o/16 < x+9/16

o< 1/16x + 9/16

Eva8 [605]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: Skinfold measurements is one of the oldest ways of measuring a person's fat percentage,it's usually taken in specific areas of the body where there are Skinfolds,while taking this measurements it is expected that the person taking it does the average of 2or more repeated measurements in order to ensure that the actual thickness of that area of the body is correctly entered.

It is specifically taken from the right side of the body,where the person pinches out the Skinfolds away from the body by attaching a caliper ,this is to ensure that only the fatty laters are considered, it is mainly presented in percentage.
