Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = (-8-2)/(1+1)=-10/2 = -5

Perpendicular slope-1/m = -1/-5 = 1/5

Equation of a line with perpendicular slope is

y-y1=(-1/m)(x-x1)

y - 2 = (1/5)(x+1)

y =2 +(1/5)(x+1)

I need the measurement of each angle (please show work)

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

∠E = ∠F = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 given angles and equate to 180

x + x + 98 = 180 ( subtract 98 from both sides )

2x = 82 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 41

Hence

∠E = ∠F = 41°

LITTERLY HELP ME PLEASEE..... 2/x-4x/2x-3=-2<br> PLEASEE I INSERTED A PIC

Stels [109]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

$\frac{2}{x}- \frac{4x}{2x-3}=-2$

$\frac{2(2x-3)}{x(2x-3)}-\frac{4x(x)}{x(2x-3)}=-2$

$\frac{2(2x-3)-4x^{2} }{x(2x-3)}=-2$

(4x - 6) - 4x² = -2x(2x - 3)

4x - 6 - 4x² = -4x² + 6x

4x - 6 = 6x

6x - 4x = -6

2x = -6

x = -3

blondinia [14]

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

By doing 6.99/87, we can figure out that each chip costs approximately 8 cents. With this in mind, we can divide 10 by 0.08 to get 125.
