Answer:

y = -1/2x + 17/2

Explanation:

y = 2x + 1 is in slope intercept form

in the equation y = mx+b, m is the slope, and in the equation m =2

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the other slope.

slope of perpendicular= -1/m = -1/2

y = -1/2x + b

now find b by substituting in (1,8) into the partial equation

8 = -1/2 + b

b = 8+ 1/2

b = 17/2

please give thanks :) hope this helps

Can you help me find the perimeter

Answer:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = (2*width) + (2*height)

this is basically saying, since opposite sides are equal in a rectangle,

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 + 6, so P = 22ft

Answer:

We can also graph inequalities on the number line. The following graph represents the inequality x≤2 . The dark line represents all the numbers that satisfy x≤2 . If we pick any number on the dark line and plug it in for x, the inequality will be true.

Answer:

<h3> Perimeter = 3√5 + 6 + √73 + √58 + 5√2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$AB=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(5-8)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt5\\\\BC=|-1-5|=|-6|=6\\\\CD=\sqrt{(-2-6)^2+(-4-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\\\\DE=\sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2+(3-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{9+49}=\sqrt{58}\\\\EA=\sqrt{(0-(-5))^2+(8-3)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{25\cdot2}=5\sqrt2$
