-2x + y = -4

Need help asap

Hey :)

If you are solving for x, the answer is: x = y/2 + 2

-2x + y = -4

Subtract y from both sides

−2x = −4 − y

The equation is in standard form:

−2x = − y −4

Divide both sides by −2:

-2x/-2 = -y - 4/-2

Dividing by −2 undoes the multiplication by −2

x = -y -4/-2

Divide −4 −y by −2

x = y/2 + 2

However, if you are solving for y, the answer is: y = −4 + 2x

−2x + y = −4

Add 2x to both sides:

y = −4 + 2x

Hope this helps!

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
