The equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-1, 2) and is perpendicular to the line equation, 2 y = 2 x - 1 is: y = -x + 1

<em><u>Recall</u></em>:

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + c, where, slope = m, and y-intercept = c.

Point-slope form is: y - b = m(x - a)

The slope value of a line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to. i.e. if the slope of a line is a, the slope of the line that it is perpendicular to will be -a.

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

  • The line passes through point (-1, 2)

  • Equation of line it is perpendicular to is: 2 y = 2 x - 1

To write the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 2), we need to find the slope value.

  • First, rewrite  2 y = 2 x - 1 and find its slope.

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \\\\y = x - \frac{1}{2}

  • The slope (m) of 2 y = 2 x - 1 is therefore 1.

  • Thus, the slope (m) of the line that passes through (-1, 2) will be the negative reciprocal of 1 = -1.

  • Write the equation of the line by substituting (a, b) = (-1, 2) and m = -1 into  y - b = m(x - a):

  • <em><u>Thus</u></em>:

y - 2= -1(x - (-1))\\\\y - 2 = -1(x + 1)

  • Rewrite this in the form of y = m x + c

  • <em><u>Thus</u></em>:

y - 2 = -x - 1\\\\y = -x - 1 + 2\\\\y = -x  + 1

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-1, 2) and is perpendicular to the line equation, 2 y = 2 x - 1 is y = -x + 1

You need to cross a canal and want to determine the distance across the opposite side. Since you're able to take measurements on
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

36.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Measurements for the sides of the canal is given as: 40 ft. and 16 ft.

You solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The distance across the canal is calculated as:

√(40² - 16²)

= √(1344)

= 36.66060556 ft

Approximately = 36.7 ft

Therefore, the distance x across the canal = 36.7 ft

Measure of E is congruent to K, so E is 50 degrees.

Measure of G is congruent to L, so G is 105 degrees.

Measure of F is congruent to J, J is 180 deg - 50 deg - 105 deg = 25 degrees, so F is 25 degrees.

Tammy bought a nightstand that was marked down 60% from an original price of $50. If she paid 10% sales tax, what was the total
AURORKA [14]

Answer: the total cost of the nightstand is $22

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the night stand is $50. If the original price of the night stand was marked down by 60%, it means that the amount of money by which it was reduced would be

60/100 × 50 = 0.6 × 50 = 30

The new selling price would be

50 - 30 = $20

If she paid 10% sales tax,the amount of tax paid would be

10/100 × 20 = 0.1 × 20 = 2

Therefore, the total cost of the nightstand would be

20 + 2 = $22
