<h3>Answer: y = (-1/2)x + 2</h3>
This is the same as y = -0.5x+2
==========================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
The blue line is the graph of y = 2x+8, which is the left bank of the river.
For now, ignore the y = (-1/2)x+2 in the diagram and pretend we don't know that just yet. The red line is the bridge and it's some linear equation in the form y = mx+b. We're told the bridge is perpendicular to the river, so the bridge must also be perpendicular to the riverbank.
The blue line has slope m = 2. Apply the negative reciprocal to this to end up with -1/2. This is the perpendicular slope, and the slope of the red line. Note how the two slopes (2 and -1/2) multiply to -1. Any two perpendicular lines will have their slopes multiply to -1, as long as neither line is vertical or horizontal.
Since we want the bridge to pass through (0,2), this must mean the y intercept is b = 2.
So with m = -1/2 and b = 2, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x + 2 which is the equation of the bridge shown in red.
This is the same as y = -0.5x + 2 since -1/2 = -0.5
Answer:
16 = 3x
Step-by-step explanation
Find the diagram attached.
Perimeter = sum of all its sides
Sum of all its sides= x+x+x
Sum of all its sides = 3x
Given perimeter = 16in
Equating both;
3x = 16
x = 16/3
x = 5.33in
Hence the value of x is 5.33 and the required equation is 16 =3x
