Answer:

One side has length 5x

One side has length 12x

One side has length 13x

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 12x + 13x = 15

x = 15/(5 + 12 + 13) = 15/30 = 0.5

5(0.5) = 2.5

12(0.5) = 6

13(0.5) = 6.5

Help please! Identify an equation in point slope form for the line perpendicular to Y =-4x + 8 that passes through (-2, 7)

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

D. $y-7=\frac{1}{4}(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

The line given to us has equation; $y=-4x+8$ .

The slope of this line is -4. The of the line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Our slope of interest is therefore; $m=\frac{1}{4}$

Since the point goes through (-2,7), we have $x_1=-2,y_1=7$ .

We plug in the slope and the point into the point-slope formula to obain;

$y-7=\frac{1}{4}(x--2)$

The required equation is:

$y-7=\frac{1}{4}(x+2)$
