Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to

Mathematics

Natalija [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide 9,795 by 7 we get:

=1399.28571429

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

Underline the hundredths place: 1399.2<u>8</u>571429

Look to the right. If it is 5 or above 5 then we give it a shove.

If it is 4 or less than 4, we let it go.

In our case it is 5. We will add 1 in 8, then it will become 9. 28 will be rounded off as 29.

Therefore the answer after rounding off to the nearest hundredth is 1399.29....

Artyom0805 [142]
1/6 percussion 
1/3 wood winds = 2/6 (which is twice as many as percussion) 
1/2 brass = 3/6 (which is three times as many as percussion)

So percussion = 3
wood winds = 6
brass = 9
all together = 3 + 6 + 9 = 18
