Answer:
The equation of the line that is <em>perpendicular</em> to <em>y = 2x + 2</em> is
<em>y = -1/2x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The original equation is y = 2x + 2; it's slope is <em>2</em>
Any line perpendicular to this equation would have to have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Example:
y = 2x + 2 so,
the perpendicular line's slope must be -1/2
Write a new equation with the new slope:
y = -1/2x + b
We know that this line passes through (8, -4)
Plug these coordinates in the equation to find b, the y-intercept
-4 = -1/2 (8) + b
-4 = -4 + b
0 = b
b = 0
We do not have to write y = -1/2x + 0
So, our final answer is "y = -1/2x is perpendicular to y = 2x+2"
The tools that were used by ancient mathematicians to make geometric constructions are compasses and straightedges. A compass is a drawing instrument used to draw circles and arcs. The straightedges on the other hand is a tool to check on the accuracy of a straight line.
The answer is first choice.
