Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for y to find the slope of the given line.

  x +2y = 2

  2y = -x +2 . . . . . subtract x

  y = -1/2x +1 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

The slope is the x-coefficient, -1/2.

Any perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of this:

  -1/(-1/2) = 2

A perpendicular line will have a slope of 2.

X² - 8x - 20 factors to give option
B) (x - 10)(x + 2)
x² + 8x - 20 factors to give option
A) (x - 2)(x + 10)
x² - x - 20 factors to give option C) (x - 5)(x + 4)
and x² - 9x - 20 is option D) Prime.

-3 1/2= 1/2x+1/2x+x A)-1 3/4 B)-5 1/2 C)-1 1/2 10points each
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

-1 3/4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 1/2= 1/2x+1/2x+x

Combine like terms

-3 1/2 = 2x

Change to an improper fraction

- ( 2*3+1)/2 = 2x

-7/2  = 2x

Multiply each side by 1/2

-7/2 *1/2 = 2x* 1/2

-7/4 = x

Changing to a mixed number

-4/4 -3/4 =x

-1 3/4 =x
