Answer:
y = -1/2x + 17/2
Explanation:
y = 2x + 1 is in slope intercept form
in the equation y = mx+b, m is the slope, and in the equation m =2
the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the other slope.
slope of perpendicular= -1/m = -1/2
y = -1/2x + b
now find b by substituting in (1,8) into the partial equation
8 = -1/2 + b
b = 8+ 1/2
b = 17/2
please give thanks :) hope this helps
Answer:
I think it’s C I’m not sure I seen a question like this before
Step-by-step explanation:
m = -1
-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 - 12/4 = 8m
4(-5) - (12/4) = 4(8m)
*to remove the denominator, multiply each figure by 4.
-20 -12 = 32m
-32 = 32m
-32/32 = 32m/32
-1 = m
m = -1
To check:
-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 = 8(-1) + 3
-5 = -8 + 3
-5 = -5
