Answer:
True answer: -24
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Showing the error</u></em>
-16-2(-2) – 12 First you need to multiply
8(-2) - 12 The error here is that the wrong numbers are multiplied together
-16-12 Add the negatives together
-28 Your answer (the incorrect one)
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>The correct way of solving it</u></em>
-16 -2(-2) - 12 Multiply into the parenthesis
-16 + 4 -12 Add the first two numbers
-12 - 12 Add the numbers together
-24 The answer
Answer:
28

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the line be
where, 'm' is its slope and
is a point on it.
Given:
The equation of a known line is:

A point on the unknown line is:

Both the lines are perpendicular to each other.
Now, the slope of the known line is given by the coefficient of 'x'. Therefore, the slope of the known line is 
When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.
Therefore,

Therefore, the equation of the unknown line is determined by plugging in all the given values. This gives,

The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through (4, -6) is
.
