Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello:

the equation is : y = ax+b

the slope is a : a×(2) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 for : y=2x+1)

a =-1/2 y=(-1/2)x+b

the line that passes through (6, 2) : 2 = (-1/2)(6)+b

b = 5

the equation is : y = (-1/2)x+5

MrRa [10]

tan 52 = 180/a; a = 180/tan 52

tan 43 = 180/b; b = 180/tan 43

you need to calculate, a-b = 180/tan 52 - 180/tan 43

What is the solution to the inequality -4 x < 8?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is x < -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the inequality first.

=> -4x < 8
=> -4x/4 < 8/4
=> -x < 2
=> x < -2

Hence, the solution of the inequality is x < -2.

Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

nexus9112 [7]

Let the required number is 2x ,

According to the condition,

➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8

$= > 10 \times ( \frac{2x}{2} + 6) = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10 \times (x + 6) = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x + 60 = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x = 8 - 60 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x = - 52 \\ \\ \\ = > x = - \frac{ 52}{10} \\ \\ \\ = > x = - 5.2$

Therefore the value of x is -5.2

And, required number is -5.2
