Answer: 2a -5 = 7 and a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 is less than twice a, the the expression will be 2a -5, since 2 a is the same as 2 times a, and 5 less than 2a is the same as subtracting 5 from 2a. "is" is the same as equal to, so the whole expression has to equal 7.

2a - 5 = 7 You can solve for a by adding 5 to both sides.

+5 +5

2a = 12 Now divide both sides by 2.

a = 6.

What is the slope intercept form of the perpendicular line to the line with (-2,7), (0,1) and (2,-5) points

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line through the three points is -3.

Slope of any perpendicular through the line is ⅓.

(0,1) is one of the points on the line, so the y-intercept is 1.

Slope-intercept equation for line of slope ⅓ and y-intercept 1:

y = ⅓x+1

I don’t really understand how you figure out the points of a figure on rotation, please explain!

Basile [38]

To rotate a figure
90 degrees(-y,x)
180 degrees(-x,-y)
270 degrees(y,-x)
If your original point is (1,2) or example and you want to rotate it say 270 degrees the final point would be (2,-1)
Hope this helped!!!!!
