Answer:

y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-solve for y: y = 1/2x + 2

-perpendicular equals opposite slope: -2

-plug in the point: (1) = -2(-2) + b

1 = 4 + b

b = -3

put it all together: y = -2x - 3

Please help me with this problem <br> Evaluate (-½·3)³

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: -27/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(-a\right)^n=-a^n,\:\quad \mathrm{if\:}n\mathrm{\:is\:odd}$

$\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n$

$\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:27$

$=-\frac{27}{8}$
