I think the answer is 2/15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
x + 2y = 4
2y = - x + 4
y = -x/2 + 4/2
y = - x/2 + 2
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2
If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes
1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c
c = 1 + 4 = 5
The equation becomes
y = 2x + 5
The answer is communative. hope that helped
Corresponding altitudes are corresponding parts. They are congruent because ... Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. (CPCTC)
