Answer:

-2/x

Step-by-step explanation:

simplified is y = -x/2 - 6

Perpendicular slopes are just reciprocals of the original slope, so just flipp the original slope around to be the complete opposite.

Example if slope= -2, the reciprocal= -1/2

Just flip the numerator with the denominator for perpendicular slope

Set up and solve an equation for the value of x. Use the value of x and a relevant angle relationship in the diagram

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

x and EAF are 27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since GAF is a right angle as indicated by the little square, GAC and CAF must add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, x is 90-63=27 degrees. The situation is the same for angle EAF. Hope this helps!

A rectangle is 12m longer than it is wide. Its perimeter is 68m. Write and equation and show steps to find its length and width.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

l + w = 34

l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

2l = 46

l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.
