Answer:
The perpendicular line would be y = -2x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must solve the original equation for y.
x - 2y = 7
-2y = -x + 7
y = 1/2x - 7/2
In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of 1/2, we know the new line will have a slope of -2. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -2(x + 3)
y - 2 = -2x - 6
y = -2x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 45
B) 6
C) 6.7082039326
Answer:
(-2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
~When reflecting a point of the x-axis, the x value (or first number inside the parenthesis) does not change.
The reason the x-value does not change is because you are reflecting over the x-axis, making the point go up or down. That will change the y-value but the x-value only changes if you move to the left or the right. In this case, you can see that the point's x-value is -2, so that will not change. It's current y-value however is -4. When reflecting over an axis, the number that is changing (in this case the y-value) will just be flipped from positive to negative, or vise versa. In this case, -4 will be reflected to be 4, making point C reflected over the x-axis (-2, 4).
