Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 8

Mathematics

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ y= - \frac{1}{2} x-4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line y=2x+8. It is in slope-intercept form or y= mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of the line is 2.

We want to find the equation that is perpendicular. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

1. Negate

  • Negate the slope, or switch the sign
  • (+) 2 --> -2

2. Reciprocal

  • Flip the numerator and denominator of the slope.
  • -2/1 --> -1/2

The perpendicular slope is -1/2, so the correct equation must be B.

Which properties of equality justify steps b and d?
7nadin3 [17]
<span>C. Subtraction Property of Equality; Multiplication Property of Equality

For the first one, you are subtracting 7 from both sides (step b), to help isolate the y

since you are both subtracting, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign) it is <em>Subtraction Property of Equality.</em>

For the second one, you are multiplying 2 from both sides (step d), to help isolate the y

since you are multiplying, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign), it is <em>Multiplication Property of Equality</em>
