What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x-y=-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

m⊥ = –½

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the given equation in slope-intercept form:

2x – y = –6

–y = –2x – 6

y = 2x + 6

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line given will be the negative reciprocal of the given line's slope, so:

If m = 2, then m⊥ = its negative reciprocal:

m · –1

2 · –1

–2  →  –½

So, the negative reciprocal of 2 is –½.

Answer: ∠DOB: 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. we need an equation first. the sum of all angles (108°, n°, 2n°) is equal to 180°. we can depict this with the equation: 108°+2n°+n°=180°

2. now we can solve for the missing variable, n.

108°+3n°=180° → subtract both sides by → 3n°=72° → divide both sides by 3 → n=24°

3. now that we know that n=24°, we can solve the value of ∠DOB. we can see that ∠DOB is 2n° which we just plug the number we got for n into the equation. 2*24=48° meaning ∠DOB is 48°

hope this heped! ♡
