Step-by-step explanation:

maybe this is not the full expression, as you wrote the line equation in a funny way.

I understand the following :

the line is

y = (-2/5)×x - 7

perpendicular means crossing at a right angle (90 degrees).

the slope of the original line is -2/5.

as in every line equation, the slope is the factor of x. and it expresses the ratio y/x indicating the amount of units y is changing, when x changes a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).

the perpendicular slope turns the original y/x ratio upside-down, and also flips the sign.

so, it is 5/2.

the equation for the perpendicular line looks like

y = (5/2)×x + b

now what is b ?

for this we use the specified point on the line : (4, -1)

and we put these values as x and y into the equation :

-1 = (5/2)×4 + b = 5×2 + b = 10 + b

b = -11

and so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (5/2)×x - 11

Which expression is equivalent to 1/2(2x-8)<br> A) 4x− 16<br> B) x− 4<br> C) 2x− 4<br> D) x− 8
inn [45]

Answer:

B) x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you have to simplify the expression to get your answer.

Solve:

1/2(2x - 8)

Use the distributive property.

1/2(2x) + 1/2(-8)

x + 1/2(-8)

x - 4

Your answer would be B) x - 4
