Answer:
y = 1/2x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.
The first line is y = -2x + 8. Its slope is -2. A line perpendicular to this one will have a slope of 1/2.
Plug this value (1/2) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.
y = 1/2x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
-2 = 1/2(4) + b
To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (4)
-2 = 2 + b
Now, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate b.
-4 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = 1/2x - 4
This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -2x + 8) and contains point (4, -2)
Hope this helps!
I think it’s 1/5 simplified
In order to find the area of a rectangle, the formula is L*W (Length multiplied by Width). Our goal is to find these two measurements, so we will take the following steps:
1) Plot the coordinates on a graph (I have attached a visual guide)
2) Using the Pythagorean Theorem, or the Distance formula we can find the length and width:

3) We will use these values in the Area formula for a rectangle (L*W)
4) After solving the Area formula with the values retrieved from the Distance Formula we find that
the area is roughly 30 units squared.
Answer:
<em>Look Below In the Explanation</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Point P has coordinates of (4,4) and point Q has coordinates of (4,-4).
Since both points have the same x-coordinates we can subtract point Q's y-coordinate from point P's y-coordinate.
I will set the equation up and try and figure this part by yourself. I hope you learned what to do from previous questions that are very similar to this that I answered.
4 - ( -4) = length of the bed of flowers
Hope that helps and maybe earns a brainliest!
Have a splendid day! :^)
