Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to find the slope of the original equation. We can do this by solving for y.

x - 2y = -6

-2y = -x - 6

y = 1/2x + 3

Now that we have a slope of 1/2, we know the new perpendicular line will have a slope of -2. We know this because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we flip it and change the sign. Now we can use this slope along with the point to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -2(x - 3)

y - 2 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 8

A total of 430 tickets were sold for the school play . They were either adult tickets or student tickets . There were 70 fewer s
Maurinko [17]
So first we assume that half is adult and have is student.

So
215 adult  215 student

Now since it said they were 70 less student tickets than adult tickets we subtract 70.
215 - 70 = 145

Now we add the 70 we subtracted from student tickets to the adult tickets.
215 + 70 = 285

So there were 
285 adult tickets sold and 145 student tickets sold

I hope this helped. Have a great day!

You drop a pencil out of window that is 20ft above the ground. Use the formula V^2=64s, where V is speed and s is the distance f
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
First you substitute in the values so you have
V^2=(64)20
then you just simplify it
V^2=1280
V=the square root of 1280
V= about 35.7770876
or
V=the square root of 256 times <span>the square root of 5
V=16 times </span><span>the square root of 5

also V would typically be called velocity. it's very similar to speed but it is just easier to remember because it starts with a V</span>
