Answer:

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation perpendicular to another one, you must find the negative inverse of the slope.

In this case, -1/2 has an inverse of -2, but because we're finding the negative inverse, the two negatives cancel out and we get 2, the slope of our perpendicular equation, which crosses the initial equation, making a right angle.

Answer:

10. 0.99
11. -60
12. 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

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

10.

m = (6.24 - 3.27)/(5 - 2) = 2.97/3 = 0.99

11.

m = (240 - 360)/(3 - 1) = -120/2 = -60

12.

m = (8.84 - 6.09)/(7 - 2) = 2.75/5 = 5.5
