Which equation can be used to graph the line that passes through (6, 15) and is perpendicular to the graph of y-7=1/2(x+2)

y = -2x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall need to reform the given line equation;

y-7 = 1/2 ( x + 2)

y - 7 = x/2 + 1

y = x/2 + 1 + 8

y = x/2 + 8

Comparing this with y = mx + c

where m is the slope, then the slope of the line is 1/2

Since the line we are looking for has a slope perpendicular to this line, it means that the product of their slopes is -1

m1 * m2 = -1

1/2 * m2 = -1

m2 = -2

So we want an equation with slope -2 passing through (6,15)

we use the point slope method here;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-15 = -2(x-6)

y-15 = -2x + 12

y= -2x + 12 + 15

y = -2x + 27

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
