Answer:

- $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{5}$

Solve the equation. Check your solutions when necessary. 2x² − 7x = 4

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x= -1/2 = -0.500

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-7x-4=0

2x^2-8x+1x-4=0

2x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(2x+1)(x-4)=0

2x+1=0...2x= -1.. x= -1/2 x-4=0 .. x=4

checking the solution

2(-1/2)^2-7(-1/2)=4..... 4=4

2(4)^2-7(4)=4....... 4=4
