Answer:

$- \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we find the line that's perpendicular to another?

We find the negative reciprocal. So for example if our slope is 2, the negative reciprocal would be $- \frac{1}{2}$ .

Answer:

The distributive property here is to just multiply each value by tree number outside the parenthesis.

3 ( 4x - 2t)

12x - 6t

That would be your answer.

A line with a slope of 3 passes through (2,5). Which choice is an equation of this line? Please help

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Top right.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want a line with a slope of 3 and passes through (2,5).

To do so, we can use the point-slope form.

The point-slope form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m is the slope and x₁ and y₁ is an ordered pair.

Thus, let m be 3, y₁ be 5, and x₁ be 2. Thus:

$y-5=3(x-2)$

Our answer is the top right :)
