Answer:

y=½x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Passes through, (1,3)

Perpendicular to x-2y=-8.

Step 1

write the equation in form of y=mx+c

x-2y=8

-2y=-x+8

Dividing both sides of the equation by -2 we get;

y=-x/2+8

y=-½x+8

Thus the gradient is -½. Call it M1

Recall, The product of the gradients(slopes) of perpendicular lines is -1 i.e

M1 × M2= -1

Solve for M2

-½×M2=-1.

Dividing both sides by -½ we get

M2=-1×-2

<h3>M2=2</h3>

Now, use this slope(M2) with the points (1,3) to find the new equation that is perpendicular to x-2y=-8

Note: Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the the slope would be ∆x/∆y i.e (x1-x2)/(y1-y2).

Therefore, identify new point (x,y). Use this new point with point (1,3) and the slope M2 to get the new equation.

Slope=∆x/∆y

M2=(x-1)/(y-3)

but M2 is 2

2=(x-1)/(y-3)

2/1=(x-1)/(y-3) Note: 2= 2/1

Cross multiplying we get:

2(y-3)=1(x-1)

Open the brackets

2y-6=x-1

Solve for y so as to write the equation in form of y=mx+c

2y=x-1 +6

2y=x+5

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

y=x/2+5

<h3>y=½x+5</h3>

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Passes through point (1, 3)

Perpendicular to x – 2y = -8

Solve:

x – 2y = -8

y = 1/2x + 4

The slope is m = 1/2

The slope of the perpendicular line is the inverse of the slope of the original equation.

The slope of the inverse equation is m = -2.

Making an inverse equation of y = -2x + a

Find a:

Use point, (1, 3) where (x, y):

3 = (-2)*(1) + a

a = 5

y = -2x + 5

The correct answer is: Proust Was a Neuroscientist<span> by Jonah Lehrer

Science ordinarily applies a reductionist approach. To structure a testable theory that could Additionally make faultlessly retested, simulated constructs would made. This is carried will permit clean analyses Also information about statistically huge correctness.

The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 212121 meters. The height of 444 fir trees stacked on top of each other
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Height of fir tree = 9 meters

height of pine tree= 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree.

Let x be the height of fir tree and y be the height of pine tree

x+y=21

Subtract x from both sides

y=21-x

height of 4 fir trees = pine tree +24

4x=y+24

Substitute 21-x or y in the above equation

4x=21-x+24

Add x on both sides

5x=45

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=9

Now plug in 9 for x and find out y

y=21-x

y=21-9

y=12

Height of fir tree = 9 meters

height of pine tree= 12 meters
