Perpendicular means opposite and reciprocal (in reference to the slope). 
The opposite of 1/2 is -1/2. The reciprocal of -1/2 is -2.

Now we know the slope we can plug the point they gave us into the X and Y positions to solve for b (in the point (2, 3) there is a X - Value (2) and a Y-value (3)

y= -2x+b
3= -2(2)+b
3= -4+b
1=b

Now we plug b and the slope in the generic y=mx+b equation:
y= -2x+1

If tu=18 and u=11 what is tv
yuradex [85]

If the point U is between points T and V, then the numerical length of TV is 29 units

<h3>How to determine the numerical length of segment TV?</h3>

From the question, we have the following lengths that can be used in our computation:

  • Length TU = 18 units
  • Length UV = 11 units

The above parameters and representations implies that the point U is between endpoints T and V

This also means that the length TV is longer than the other lengths TU and TV

So, we have the following length equation

TV = TU + UV

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

TV = 18 + 11

Evaluate the sum of the like terms in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

TV = 29

Hence, the numerical length of segment TV is 29 units

Which graph correctly solves the system of equations below? <br> y=-x^2+1 <br> y=x^2-4
KIM [24]
Red line shows
y=x^2-4 , cause it's going through point (0,-4)

So blue line shows
y= -x^2+1 Point (1,0) belong to it , moreover x factor is negative , so the arms of parabola will go down

Have nice evenig :)
