<span>B:she could divided both sides by 3 to get x+2=2y</span>
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in the Missouri River would decrease if large amounts of chemical waste were dumped into it. It would decrease because the chemical waste would feed on the microorganisms and reduce the amount of oxygen in the river.</span>
The equation of a line passing through point (4, -1) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y - 7 = 0 is y = -1/2x + 1
<h3>Equation of a line</h3>
A line is the shortest distance between two points. The equation of a line in point-slope form and perpendicular to a line is given as;
y - y1 = -1/m(x-x1)
where
m is the slope
(x1, y1) is the intercept
Given the following
Point = (4, -1)
Line: 2x-y - 7 = 0
Determine the slope
-y = -2x + 7
y= 2x - 7
Slope = 2
Substitute
y+1 = -1/2(x -4)
Write in slope-intercept form
2(y + 1) = -(x - 4)
2y+2 = -x + 4
2y = -x + 2
y = -1/2 + 1
Hence the equation of a line passing through point (4, -1) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y - 7 = 0 is y = -1/2x + 1
