Answer:

he line y = -8 is horizontal

The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 is vertical

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through

the point (-4 , -2) is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some notes about the vertical and horizontal lines

The equation of a horizontal line passes through point (a , b) is y = b, because the y-coordinates of all points on the line are equal

The equation of a vertical line passes through point (a , b) is x = a, because the x-coordinates of all points on the line are equal

The horizontal line and the vertical line are perpendicular to each other

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through the point (-4 , -2)

∵ The equation of the given line is y = -8

∴ The given line is a horizontal line

The line y = -8 is horizontal

∵ The line y = -8 is a horizontal

∴ The line perpendicular to it must be vertical

The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 is vertical

∵ The equation of a vertical line is x = a, where a is the x-coordinate

  of a point lies on the line

∵ The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through the point (-4 , -2)

∴ a = -4

∴ The equation of the perpendicular line is x = -4

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through

the point (-4 , -2) is x = -4

Given X is midpoint of RS , MX =XS Prove Mx =RX
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Transitive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Since X is the midpoint, it bisects the points RS. If MX=XS, and RS is the same as XS, then they are the same. This also follows the Transitive propety  (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)

A photograph of a painting measures 13 units by 17 units. If the scale factor is 1/3, what is the actual size of the painting?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

39 units by 51 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The painting is a scale factor of 1/3, so each side length is 1/3 of the original.  To find the original multiply both side lengths by 3.

13x3 = 39

17 x 3 = 51
