Write an equation of the line containing the point (2,1) and perpendicular to the line 5x – 2y = 3.

So first, you want to isolate your Y. To do this, you must get it alone on ONE SIDE of the equation.

5x - 2y = 3

-5x         -5x

=

ANSWER: y = \frac{3-5x}{-2}

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.

ensure that you have copied down this problem correctly.   .

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
