Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is perpendicular to

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2

What value of x will make the equation below true?<br> 5x = 12x – 28
mash [69]
X = 4
First take 12x off both sides, so -7x=-28
The negatives cancel out, so 7x=28
Not find the hcf and divide by that.
