Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression;
2x + y = -5;
The given equation must be written in a form where the slope is the negative inverse of the given one.
A line perpendicular to another will have a negative inverse slope.
2x + y = -5
Equation of a straight line is generally written as;
y = mx + c
y and x are the coordinates
m is the slope
c is y - intercept
2x + y = -5
y = -2x -5
The slope of the perpendicular =
So,
the new line;
y =
x -5
Any line with slope of
will be perpendicular
Slope point form:
We need the slope "m" and a point (x₀,y₀)
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
1)
we calculate the slope "m".
Given two points:
(x₁,y₁)
(x₂,y₂)
the slope "m" is:
m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
In this case:
(4,10)
(6,11)
m=(11-10) / (6-4)=1/2
Now, we calculate the solpe point form.
(4,10)
m=1/2
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-10=(1/2)(x-4)
we make the standard form
y-10=x/2 - 2
Lowest common multiple=2
2y-20=x-4
-x+2y=-4+20
-x+2y=16
Answer: -x+2y=16
7/12 = 0.84
0.84/36 = 0.0233·
