What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28

Mathematics
1 answer:
malfutka [58]2 years ago

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx +b format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -x + 14. When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the m, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as   -\frac{1}{1} -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.

2/3*x+3/4=8 what is x
matrenka [14]

Answer: x=10 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3/4 from both sides. Multiply both sides by 3. Divide both sides by 2 (basically just isolate x on one side of the equal sign).

Write the perimeter of the triangle as a simplified expression
ioda

Answer: 10y + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the total distance round the figure.

Now, in this case it is going to be

Perimeter = 3y + 5 + 6y + y - 4

= 3y + 6y + y + 5 - 4

= 10y + 1

The graph shows the numbers of quarts of yellow
allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph is a straight line graph. The y axis represents the number of quarts of yellow paint that is mixed. The x axis represents the number of quarts of red paint that is mixed. We would write the required equation in the slope intercept form. The slope intercept form equation of a straight line is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept.

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Slope = (2 - 1)/(5 - 2.5) = 1/2.5

Slope = 0.4

The straight line cuts the y axis at y = 0

It means that c = 0

Therefore, the equation is

y = 0.4x
