Write the equation in slope-intercept form through the point (-5, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 3 and graph
1 answer:
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
When a line is perpendicular to another line, its slope is the negative reciprocal to that slope.
From this information, we already know that the slope of our new line is -1/2, because -1/2 is the negative reciprocal to 2 (which is the slope of the original line).
y = -1/2x + b
Because the point (-5,3) is given, we can simply plug the x and y coordinates into our incomplete equation.
3 = -1/2(-5) + b
3=2.5 + b
b = 0.5
ANSWER: y = -1/2x + 0.5
THE GRAPH IS LINKED; RED LINE IS y=2x-3 AND BLUE LINE IS y=-1/2x + 0.5

The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE ⇒ answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
If two triangles are similar by SAS, then their corresponding angles are
equal and the 3rd corresponding sides have constant ratio
In the two triangles ABC and DBE:
- ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE
Then the two triangles are similar
From similarity:
∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE
∠BCA ≅ ∠BED
∴ The missing step is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE
The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE
