Hi there!

The equation of a line perpendicular to another line always has an opposite and reciprocal slope. For this equation here, the opposite and reciprocal slope of 2x is -1/2x. This is because 2 becomes negative (-2) and it is flipped from the numerator (-1/2). So, our equation so far is y = -1/2x + b. B represents the y-intercept. And since we already know the y-intercept, all we have to do is plug it in!
Here is our finished equation: y = -1/2x - 2.

Hope this helps!! :)

Estimate 102.3 divided by 4.7
qwelly [4]

Answer:

20

Explanation:

To estimate, we round.  102.3 rounds to 100 and 4.7 rounds to 5; this means we divide 100/5, which is 20.

If sarah is 24 years younger than her mother and if the sum of their age is 68 how old is sarah
UkoKoshka [18]
The sum of two numbers if just the numbers added together, so you would just need to do some simple algebra.

The ages added together are 68, and the opposite of addition is subtraction!

(total age) - (sarahs age) = (mothers age)
68 - 24 = 44

44 should be her mothers age!


(If you were trying to calculate the sum of their ages, you would just add them together, and 24 + 44 = 68)

A line with a slope of 4 passes through<br> the point (2, 1). What is the equation of<br> this line?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

y = 4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = 4 ; x1 = 2 , y1 = 1

Slope point form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 1 = 4(x - 2)

y - 1 = 4x - 2*4

y -1 = 4x - 8

   y = 4x - 8 +1

  y = 4x - 7
