Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. 4x – 12y = 2; (10, –1)

So if the new line is perpendicular, then you will use the inverse. If our original equation is 4x-12y=2, then we need to simplify that first. I prefer to keep x on the left, so our new equation would be 4x=12y+2, which simplifies down to x=3y+0.5  so now we take the inverse of that. Keep in mind, all numbers are truly just fractions with a denominator of 1. Now we can use that to find our new equation. Our original slope is 3 so the inverse of said intercept would be 1/3. Our new slope is -2 because that is the inverse of 1/2, however we make it opposite because we do the opposite of our original equation. Our new equation would be x=1/3y-2 I believe. I might be wrong though. I could be totally off too

It will b. 975 because i’m guessin

yes

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
