To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.
For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:
Let's distribute the 0.5 first.
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.
Then, we simplify the entire expression.
Our equation now:
Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.
Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.
Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.
A line perpendicular to y = 2x - 1 must have the slope -1/2 (negative reciprocal of 2).
Thus, the eq'n of the new line is y+2 = (-1/2)(x+2).
The midpoint between points (-3, 8) and (3, -4) is (0, 2)
Answer:
Yes!
Step-by-step explanation:
It is because your still getting the same number 3 because even though your multiplying and dividing it still works
Answer:
y = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
any equation with only an x or y value present will either be a vertical or horizontal line. Because the y axis is vertical, a line that is present on y=-12 will sit on y=-12 forever, and therefore be a horizontal line
