Answer:

perpendicular slope = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }$ = - 2

Please Help!! Thanks in advance!

Given:

The equation is:

$\dfrac{y}{p-q}=\dfrac{y}{p+q}$

To find:

The value of y.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{y}{p-q}=\dfrac{y}{p+q}$

On cross multiplication, we get

$y(p+q)=y(p-q)$

$yp+yq=yp-yq$

$yp+yq-yp+yq=0$

$2yq=0$

Dividing both sides by 2q, we get

$\dfrac{2yq}{2q}=\dfrac{0}{2q}$

$y=0$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which expression is equivalent to 5x + 10 y - 15

klasskru [66]

The answer is the first one because you have to multiply the outsider five to the other numbers inside the parenthesis. You don't add them or subtract them because they don't have the same variable
