What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (0, -6) and
is parallel to the line represented by 6x + 2y = 8?

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other.  In order to write the equation of a line perpendicular to the one given, we need to find the slope of the given line and then take the opposite reciprocal of it.  The current form the line is in does not give us a clear idea of what the slope is.  We will first put the given line into slope-intercept form (right now it's in standard form, which is not helpful for anything at all!).  Solving the given equation for y:

Step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
