Give the slope perpendicular to the equation 2x-y=5

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

- \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x - y = 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- y = - 2x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = 2x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{2}

The vertices of a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane are known. How can the perimeter of the figure be found?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Use the distance formula to find the length of each side, and then add the lengths.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the vertices of a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane.

We have to find the perimeter of the figure.

For doing so, we have to find the length of all the sides of a quadrilateral

The length of a line segment joining points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the distance formula:  \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

after finding length of all the sides, we add the length of each side to get the perimeter.

Hence, the correct option is:

Use the distance formula to find the length of each side, and then add the lengths.
