First we have to find the slope of the given line. We do that by puttiing the equation into slope-interept form. or solving it for y (same thing). 2x + 4y = -6. We move the 2x over by subtraction to get 4y = -2x - 6. Divide both sides by 4 to get the slope-intercept form we are seeking. y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}. The slope that is perpendicular to that slope of -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal. Therefore, the perpendicular slope is a positive 2/1 or just 2. If this new line goes through the point (2, 5), it goes through the x value of 2 and the y value of 5. We will use those values along with the slope of 2 to solve for b in our slope-intercept equation. That looks like this: 5=2(2)+b and b = 1. That means our new equation, the one that is perpendicular to the given line, has an equation of y = 2x + 1.

Write each fraction in simplest form if the fraction is in simplest form write simplest form from 1-12
erica [24]
15. would be 1/2 because if you simplify 16/32 to 8/16 (dividing by 2 each time), then to 4/8, then 2/4, and lastly 1/2

you really dont need to do all of that because 16/32 is already 1/2 (16 is half of
32) 

16. the answer would be 7/12 because if you divide 21/36 both by 3 you get 7/12 and you cant go any more simpler.

The relationship between the number of pencils and the number of pens in Sophie’s pencil case can be represented using the ratio
tekilochka [14]

ratio of 6:10, if you divide both numbers by 2 you get a ratio of 3:5

multiply by 2 you get 12:20

multiply by 1.5 you get 9:15

The graphed function, F(x), has a value greater than 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76,  ∞) . F(x) > 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞) is the correct statement [Fourth choice].

About a Graphed Function

The function graph of an object F stands for the set of all points in the plane that are (x, f(x)). The graph of f is also known as the graph of y = f. (x). The graph of an equation is thus a specific example of the graph of a function. A graphed function is a function that has been drawn out on a graph.

It is evident from the attached graph that the supplied function exceeds 0 for the following range:

-0.7 < F(x) < 0.76

And, 0.76 < F(x) < ∞

As a result, the intervals for which the given graphed function, F(x) is greater than 0 are as follows,

(-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞)
