Answer:

y = 1/2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form, so you recognize its slope is -2. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of that, so is -1/-2 = 1/2.

The y-intercept can be found from ...

b = y -mx . . . . . for line of slope m through point (x, y)

b = -1 -(1/2)(2) = -1 -1 = -2

Then the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is ...

y = 1/2x -2

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

So because the sides are equal, that means that the angles are equal.

5x = 3x + 28

Step 1.) Subtract 3x from 5x which leaves you with 2x.

2x = 28

Step 2.) Divide 28 by 2, to get the variable on its own. This leaves you with 14

x = 14

Well 15 divided by 2 would be 7.5.

Find all zeros for f(x)=x(5x-2)(x^2+1)

Svetach [21]

Factoring x2+5x-1

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1 = -1

Step-2 : Find two factors of -1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .

-1 + 1 = 0

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

x2 + 5x - 1
This is what did but I not sure it's right?!

A table contains the ordered pairs (3, 42.25) and (5, 50.75). If the relationship in the table is linear, explain how to find th

Basile [38]

Answer:

The linear relationship ( the linear equation ):

y = m x + b ( the slope-intercept form )

m = ( 50.75 - 42.25 ) / ( 5 - 3 ) = 8.50 / 2 = 4.25 ( the slope )

42.25 = 4.25 * 3 + b

b = 42.25 - 12.75

b = 29.50

y = 4.25 * x + 29.50
