In slope-intercept form, what is the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 2x+ 7 that passes through the point (5,8)? 1
y=0.5x - 10.5
O 2
y = -0.5x + 10.5
3
y = 2x + 10.5
4
y = -2x - 10.5

2

y = -0.5x + 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

put a negative sign and 1 on top of the number next to the x to get the line thats perpendicular

2

y = -0.5x + 10.5

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
