Answer:

A.

y

=

−

2

x

−

3

.

Explanation:

First, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

y

=

m

x

+

b

.

−

x

+

2

y

=

4

⇒

2

y

=

x

+

4

⇒

y

=

1

2

x

+

2

So the slope of the given line is

m

=

1

2

.

Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. Meaning, if a line has slope

m

, then a line perpendicular to this has slope

m

*

=

−

1

m

. That means the slope of our perpendicular line is

m

*

=

−

1

1

/

2

=

−

2

.

Knowing the new slope and a point, we can find an equation for our perpendicular line by using the slope-point equation

y

−

y

1

=

m

(

x

−

x

1

)

, or by plugging in the given

(

x

,

y

)

point (and the new slope

m

*

) into

y

=

m

x

+

b

to find

b

for the new line.

y

−

y

1

=

m

(

x

−

x

1

)

⇒

y

−

1

=

−

2

[

x

−

(

−

2

)

]

⇒

y

−

1

=

−

2

[

x

+

2

]

⇒

y

=

−

2

x

−

3

or

y

=

m

x

+

b

⇒

1

=

−

2

(

−

2

)

+

b

⇒

1

=

4

+

b

⇒

b

=

−

3

∴

y

=

m

x

+

b

becomes

y

=

−

2

x

−

3

.

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so we plug in the values for x and y to make the equation:

1 - 2 x -6 = 4

And then we just solve the left side:

2 x -6 = -12

1 - -12 = 1 + 12 = 13

So this is false

5. Solve for x in the parallelogram below.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

42 is also the degree for x so 42+42=84

there are 360 total degrees in a parallelogram

360-84=276

276 is divided by 2 as y and w are the same degrees

138 + 5 to find x and that is 143

143/13 is 11

Alexandra invested $20,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 6.2%
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounded Annually:

A=P(1+r)^t

A=P(1+r)  

t

 

A=27200\hspace{35px}P=20000\hspace{35px}r=0.062

A=27200P=20000r=0.062

Given values

27200=

27200=

\,\,20000(1+0.062)^{t}

20000(1+0.062)  

t

 

Plug in values

27200=

27200=

\,\,20000(1.062)^{t}

20000(1.062)  

t

 

Add

\frac{27200}{20000}=

20000

27200

​  

=

\,\,\frac{20000(1.062)^{t}}{20000}

20000

20000(1.062)  

t

 

​  

 

Divide by 20000

1.36=

1.36=

\,\,1.062^t

1.062  

t

 

\log\left(1.36\right)=

log(1.36)=

\,\,\log\left(1.062^t\right)

log(1.062  

t

)

Take the log of both sides

\log\left(1.36\right)=

log(1.36)=

\,\,t\log\left(1.062\right)

tlog(1.062)

Bring exponent to the front

\frac{\log\left(1.36\right)}{\log\left(1.062\right)}=

log(1.062)

log(1.36)

​  

=

\,\,\frac{t\log\left(1.062\right)}{\log\left(1.062\right)}

log(1.062)

tlog(1.062)

​  

 

Divide both sides by log(1.062)
