Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of line WX is -2. Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to line WX is the negative reciprocal of -2, or +1/2.
Substitute -2 for y, -1 for x and 1/2 for m in y = mx + b, for the purpose of finding b:
-2 = (1/2)(-1) + b. Multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
-4 = -1 + b. Then b = -3, and the desired equation is y = (1/2)x - 3.
Answer:
Y=(1/2)-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of line WX is -2 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:
EF is a segment so it's a line with the end points as E and F. Line RS bisects(cuts in half) line EF. Then where the two lines meet is where A is.

Answer:
(y - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
"7 less than y" means just that.... that you have 7 fewer units then the value of y.
Answer:
y^2/x^6
apply exponent rule:
x^-2/x^4=1/x^4-(-2)=y/y^-1 x^4 -(-2)
then you subtract 4-(-2)=6
y/x^6 y^-1
cancel out the common factor: y^-1 and you get
y^2
------
x^6
