Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we can do 14/4 which is 3.5

Each class uses 3.5 gallons

For (B), we can do 3.5 * 3 which equals 10.5 gallons

For (C), we can do 30÷4 which is 7.5 square feet

For (D) they each paint 1/4 of the wall

The equation of line WX is 2x + y = -5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that con

Answer:

The third choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:

2x + y = -5 so

y = -2x - 5

The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

$y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x-(-1))$
