a line has this equation y=-1/2x+5 what is the equation for the perpendicular line that goes through (10,3)

Y=2x-17

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is perpendicular it means their slope is reciprocal to each other.

Y=-1/2X+5 has a slope of -1/2

The function that is perpendicular will have a slope of 2.

Y=2x+b

Plug in(10,3)

2(10)+b=3

b=-17

Y=2x-17

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
