Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)
1 answer:
First find the slope of the given line:
4x +2y = 1
Subtract 4x from each side:
2y = -4x + 1
Divide both sides by 2:
y = -2x +1/2
The slope is -2.
Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.
The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2
Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:
y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)
Simplify:
y - 3 = x/2 +2
Add 3 to each side:
y = x/2 + 5
Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5
The answer is D.

Answer:
y < 3/8x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)18 = 2(4 + x) ||
2.) 18 = 8 + 2x --- Distribute. ||
3.) 10 = 2x --- Isolate the variable by collecting like terms ||
4.) 5 = x
I'd say A. is a good choice.
67% of x = 67......turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.67x = 67
x = 67 / 0.67
x = 100 <==
