Answer:
y=-1/2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
a line perpendicular to a given line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the given one. this means the slope of the line perpendicular to the given one would be -1/2.
How I got this: 2 as a fraction would be 2/1, so the reciprocal would be 1/2, but we want the NEGATIVE reciprocal, so we multiply the fraction by -1, which gets us -1/2.
Now we know the slope of the equation that passes through (4,3) which is perpendicular to the given line.
y=-1/2x+b
b is the y-intercept, so we use the point (4,3) and the slope we were given to find out b.
when the point's x value is 0, the y value is the y intercept.
The answer is 126
I think.... hope this helped:)
Answer:
Yes!
Step-by-step explanation:
6: 8: 10, makes a ratio of 3: 4: 5, making a right triangle
Answer: 19 boys and 14 girls liked the Giants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "b" the number of boys who liked the Giants and "g" the number of girls who liked the Giants.
Based on the information given, set up a system of equations:
Use the Substitution method to solve this system of equations.
First, you must substitute the second equation in the first equation and solve for "g":
<em> </em>And finally, you must substitute the value of "g" into the second equation in order to find the value of "b".
Then:
Gerry folded 3/8 of the pile of shirts and Molly folded 1/8 of the pile of shirts, so in total they folded 4/8 of the pile of shirts.
4 is half of 8, but it is not more than half of 8, so, together, Gerry and Molly did NOT fold more than half the shirts.
