First, write it out in point-slope form and then simplify it to slope-intercept form.
(y+5)=2(x-2)
y+5=2x-4
y=2x-9
The answer is D.

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3,3) which Is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2 x+4
Nataly [62]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have slope - 1 / -1/2 = 2.

Using the point-slope form of the straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (3, 3) so we have:

y -3 = 2(x - 3)

y = 2x - 6 + 3

y = 2x - 3.

Consider the following pair of equations:
erastova [34]

y=-2x+8

y=x-1

Solve y=-2x+8 for y

Substitute -2x+8 for y in y =x-1

y=x-1

-2x+8=x-1

Add -x to both sides

-2x+8+-x=x-1+-x

-3x+8=1

Add -8 to both sides

-3x+8+-8=1+-8

-3x=-9

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3=-9/-3

x=3

Substitute 3 for x in y =-2x+8

y=-2x+8

y=(-2)(3)+8

Simplify both sides of the equation

y=2


Answer : y=2 and x=3

(3,2)


I hope that's help !
