First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3
Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradients of perpendicular lines multiply to make -1. The gradient of the line given is 2, so 2 multiplied by something gives us -1. 2 × -1/2 = -1. The gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/2
y = -1/2x + c
Now we can substitute x = 1 and y = 3 into the equation:
- 3 = -1/2(1) + c
- 3 = -1/2 + c
- c = 3 + 1/2
- c = 3 1/2 or 3.5 or 7/2
The equation of the line is y = -1/2x + 3.5
Hope this helps!
Answer:
I got you
Step-by-step explanation:
you just gotta get good kid :D
1: (-1,-1) is (x, y) to see if it is a solution, you would just plug in x and y and see if the equation is true.
-4 (-1) + 2(-1) = 2
4 + -2 = 2
2 = 2 CORRECT
So... plug in x and y in the second equation to Make sure it works for that one too.
-1 + -1 = -2
-2 = -2 CORRECT
So, yes. (-1,-1) is a solution to both equations.
Answer:
The difference between 19 and 8 is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The difference between a number and 8 is 11
Find the number.
Solution:
Let the unknown number be 
The difference between the unknown number can be written as:
We are given that the difference =11
So we can write the equation to find 
as :
Using additive property to solve for
Adding 8 to both sides to isolate on one side.
∴ 
∴ The unknown number = 19
