3. Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line x – 2y = 8.

y=0.5x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

Copy the  equation.

x-2y=8

Subtract x from both sides.

-2y=-x-8

Divide both sides by -2.

y=0.5x+4

Now we know the slope is 0.5.

Any line with a slope of 0.5 will be perpendiculr to the original line.

One that you can use is y=0.5x+40.

Simplfy:

5x-10= -8

Simplfy:

-50= -8

Simplify

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:
