Find the equation of the line which passes through (-2,1) and which is perpendicular

A line that is perpendicular to a line with slope m has slope -1/m which is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

In this case the original line in standard form is

2x-4y=-8

transform this into slop intercept form

-4y=-2x-8

4y=2x+8

y=(1/2)x+2

The slope of this original line is 1/2 therefore the perpendicular line will have slope -2

y'=2x'+b

then substitute in the order pair (x',y')

1=2(-2)+b

b=5

Therefore equation of line is

y=2x+5

The graph is just following this equation!

If you have any questions about my explanation please ask I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Gabbys age is two times mikhails age.the sum of their ages is 75. What is mikhails age
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Mikhail's age is 25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation: Say Mikhail is x, so Gabby would be 2*x=2x

If the sum of their ages equals 75, then x+2x=75, and x=2x=3x, so 3x=75.

75/3=25

A school baseball team earned $3416.90 from selling 5716 tickets to their game. If grandstand tickets sold for 65 cents each and
expeople1 [14]
If all were grandstand tickets, revenue would be 0.65*5716 = 3715.40. It was actually 298.50 less than that. Each bleacher ticket sold drops the revenue by .25, so there were 298.50/.25 = 1194 bleacher tickets sold.

Which expression represents the number 5i4+2i3+8i2+−4  rewritten in a+bi  form?
aniked [119]
Remember
i²=-1 so
i³=-i
i⁴=1

so
5i⁴+2i³+8i²-4
5(1)+2(-i)+8(-1)-4
5-2i-8-4
-7-2i is the form
