Answer:

hey, there!

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is a point (-6,8) through which a line passes. And is perpendicular to the line y = 2x-4

The equation for point (-6,8) is,

(y-8)= m1(x+6)...........(i)

and given equation is y = 2x-4............(ii)

Now, from equation (ii).

slope (m2)= 2 { as equation (ii) is in the form of y= mx+c where m is a slope}.

Now, For perpendicular,

m1×m2= -1

m1×2= -1

Therefore, m1 = -1/2.

Putting, the value of m1 in equation (i).

(y-8) = -1/2×(x+6)

2(y-8)= -1(x+6)

2y - 16 = -x -6

x+2y-10 = 0......... is the required equation.

Hope it helps...

A. 18 is 20 percent of what number? B. 15 is 25 percent of what number? C. 12 is 30 percent of what number? D. 24 is 40 percent

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

18=x*.20

15=x*.25

12=x*.30

24=x*.40

39=x*.60

78=x*.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x on each, divide the number on the left of the equal side by the number x is being multiplied by. For example, 18/.20=x

The area of a square is 50 square yards. What is the length, in yards, of one side of the square?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$area \: of \: a \: square = {x}^{2} \\ here \: {x}^{2} = 50 \\ x = \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{2 \times 25} = 5 \sqrt{2} \\ one \: side = 5 \sqrt{2} yard$

Determine if line AB is tangent to the circle. Type

adoni [48]

Answer:

If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.

We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.

The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.

16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
