Answer:

line1:y=2x+3

Gradient1=2

Let line2 be the line passes through (-4,1)and perpendicular to line1.

Because line2 and line1 are perpendicular, (gradient of line2) (gradient of line1) =-1

Gradient of line2=-1/2

Equation of line2:y-y1 =m(x-x1)

:y-1 =(-1/2)[x-(-4)]

:(y-1)(-2)=(x+4)

:-2y+2 =x+4

:-2y+2-x-4=0

:-x-2y-2 =0

:x+2y+2 =0

*notes:gradient=m

The length of each side of a regular pentagon is increased by 8 inches, so the perimeter is now 65 inches. What is the original

evablogger [386]

Here as the Pentagon is regular so it's all sides will be of equal length . And if we assume It's each side be s , then it's perimeter is going to be (s+s+s+s+s) = 5s.And as here , each side is increased by 8 inches and then it's perimeter is 65 inches , so we got that it's side after increament is (s+8) inches and original length is s inches . And if it's each side is (s+8) inches , so it's perimeter will be 5(s+8) and as it's equal to 65 inches . So , 5(s+8) = 65
