comparing the relation given
thus y= -2x +1 to the general equation of a line
where y= mx + c
where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on the y-axis.
from the question, the gradient is -2 and since the line is perpendicular, the gradient is given as

so substituting the value of m in to the equation

=

as the gradient
equation of line is given by
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
from the question y1= -2 and x1=1
substitute them
y-(-2) = 1/2 (x -1)
y+2 =1/2 (x-1)
multiplying through by 2
2 (y+2) = x-1
2y +4 = x-1
2y =x-1-4
2y =x-5
x -2y -5 = 0
therefore the equation for the line is x-2y -5=0
Answer:
x = A/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the screen is rectangular, recall that the area A of a rectangle whose length is L and width is W is given as
A = L * W
Hence if the width is 7 inches and the length is x inches then the area which is A square inches is connected to both sides as
A = x * 7
Divide both sides by 7
x = A/7 inches
A = 6
B = 9
C = 15
D = ?
From A to B, 6 + 3 = 9
From B to C, 9 + 6 = 15
From C to D, 9 + x = ?
The first time, you added 3, for the second time, you added three to the three you are adding, making it 6. So for x, x = 6 + 3, which = 9
9 + 9 = 18
D = 18 should be your answer
hope this helps
D is the answer. Keep in mind that the absolute value of a number is always positive
