y = mx + b

The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.  The slope of the given line is 2, so the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2.

y = (-1/2)x + b

Now use the given point to find b and finish from here.

-5 = (-1/2)(2) + b

b = ?

If you multiply a number by 3 and divide by 4 the result is 24. what is the number?
solong [7]
To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation.  Let the number that we are trying to find be represented by the variable x.  If we plug in the numbers that we know, we get the following equation:

3x/4 = 24

To simplify this equation, we need to multiply both sides by 4, to begin getting the x alone on the left side of the equation.

3x = 96

Finally, we need to divide both sides by 3, to get rid of the coefficient that is being multiplied to x.

x = 32

Therefore, the number that you are trying to find is 32.

The first term of a sequence is -12. The recursive formula for the sequence is an = an-1 + 9. What are the next 3 terms in the s
Bess [88]
The next three terms are: -3, 6, and 15

To get each new term, we simply add 9 to the last term. So we add 9 to -12 to get -3. Then we add 9 to -3 to get 6. Finally we add 9 to 6 to get 15

In other words,
first term = -12
second term = first term+9 = -12+9 = -3
third term = second term + 9 = -3+9 = 6
fourth term = third term + 9 = 6+9 = 15

This process repeats forever though we only need three terms in this case.

So that's why the answer is the three values -3, 6 and 15
