Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+11 that passes through (4,-8).

Answer:

A. y+8=2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+11 would have slope +2, which is the negative reciprocal of -1/2.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, find the y-intercept based upon this new line's passing through (4, -8):

y = mx + b becomes  -8 = 2(4) + b.  Then b = -16, and the desired new line is

y = 2x - 16.  

Eliminate answer choices B and C, because 1/2 is not the correct slope.

Choice A is correct.  Note that the result of subbing 4 for x and -8 for y into A:  y + 8 = 2(x - 4) is a true equation:  -8 + 8 = 2(4 - 4)

Also note that y + 8 = 2(x - 4) can be written in slope-intercept form:

y = -8 + 2x - 8, or y = 2x - 16 (same as obtained earlier)

Marcus daims that in the expression 3x + 3y, the terms 3x and 3y are like terms because both are variable terms and both have th
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x and 3y are not "like terms," despite having the same coefficient.

Like terms have the same variable. For example, 3x and 2x are like terms, so

3x+2x = 5x

Guess the rule and add the next number in the sequence.<br> 7, 10, 16, 25, 37,
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first closely examine the sequence for any mathematical correlation between the terms of sequence.

It is visualized that the series is progressing with addition of increasing even numbers starting with +6 ( +6, +8, +10, +12, +14, +16, +18 …) in the previous term to obtain next terms of the series. This logic continues for entire series.

The given series is:

1 ,7 ,15 ,25 ,37

Starting with first number of the series

1

1 + 6 = 7

7 + 8 = 15

15 + 10 = 25

25 + 12 = 37

37 + 14 = 51

51 + 16 = 67

67 + 18 = 85

The extended series is

1, 7, 15, 25, 37, 51, 67, 85

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

5s⁷/6

s⁵

3r⁴s⁵

-r⁴s⁶

-6rs⁵

4r/5⁶ can't be the first term.

We start with the highest degree term
