Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{C.)\text{ } y = -1/2x + 4}

Given equation:

y = 2x + 3

A perpendicular line would have a slope of the negative reciprocal, therefore:

2x --> -1/2x

Use the equation y = mx + b to plug in the given point values along with the slope to solve for the final equation:

3 = -1/2(2) + b

3 = -1 + b

3 + 1 = b

b = 4

Therefore, the final equation is:

y = -1/2x + 4

The correct answer choice is C, y = -1/2x + 4.

Algebra tiles to prove that 4 + 8x and 4(2x+1)
Dafna1 [17]
Not sure what algebra tiles are

not sure how to absolutely prove
I can prove it works at least most of the time by subsitute ing number for x


remember that 0,1,2 have special properties and are not very good for subsituting so
try 4
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
true or false?
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
multipily
4+32=4(8+1)
36=4(9)
36=36
this is treu at least for the number 4
another way is to believe in the distributive property where
a(b+c)=ab+ac so then
4(2x+1)=4(2x)+4(1)=8x+4=4+8x
