Find an equation of the straight line that is perpendicular to the straight line x+2y=5 and that passes through the point (3,7)

Answer: y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:  

Rewrite the equation in standard form:

x+2y=5

2y = -x + 5

y = -(1/2)x + (5/2)

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line slope, -(1/2), here.  The new slope would be 2.  The y-intercept, (5/2), will change, so we'll just use b for the new y-intercept, and calculate it later:

y = 2x +b

We know that point (3,7) lies on the new line (it is a solution to the equation), so we can use this point to find the new y-intercept, b.

7 = 2*3 + b

b = 1

The perpendicular line is y = 2x + 1, and goes through point (3,7)

Hello!

6.
Since the area is that of a square, you know that all side lengths are the same. 

Area is base times height (A = bh), but since base and height are the same for a square, you get the formula A = a².

A = a^{2}
144 = a^{2}
\sqrt{144} = a
12 = a

The length of the side of a square with an area of 144 in² is 12 in.

Rational number.

This is a right triangle; use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths of right triangles. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Plug in your leg lengths:

a² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 21²
64 + x² = 441
x² = 377
x = 19.4
