The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the other.
In this case, we know that the slope of the given equation is 2.
Since we're solving for a line perpendicular to it, we simply find the reciprocal of the 2 (It turns into 1/2) and make it negative.
y = -1/2x + b
Since the given states that the new y-intercept is 10, input it into 'b'.
y = -1/2x + 10
If you'd like me to explain anything I did here, just ask :)

Answer:
1: D
2: B
3: y=-4x+22
4: y=-8x+26
Step-by-step explanation:
1: Parallel lines have the same slope, and the only one with a slope of 3x is D
2: Perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so a line with a slope of -1/2 would be 2, so you just flip the number and add or take away a negative sign, depending on the original slope
3: Like I said before, perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so the slope would be -4. After you've figured that out, you just plug in the numbers given to you (and remember, x is first, y is last)
Plug in: 6=-4(4)+b
You would then solve for b.
6=-16+b
22=b
Then plug that into y=mx+b, with m being the slope (-4) and b being the y intercept (22)
4: The process for finding parallel and perpendicular lines is very similar, except you don't have to change the slope.
Plug in: 10=-8(2)-b
10=-16+b
26=b
Again, plug that into the equation y=mx+b
Hope I could be of help! Sorry if it doesn't make sense, this is my first time on this website.
Answer:
13 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
42 / 3.19 = 13.166144200626959,
which can be rounded down to 13 whole gallons.
For this case we have the following equation:
The variables are:
t: time in hours
d (t): distance traveled in miles.
We evaluate the distance traveled after 4 hours.
So we have that for t = 4:
Answer:
d (4) = 68
This means that after 4 hours Joanna cycled for 68 miles total
