Walking path across the park is represented by the equation y equals negative 2x -7. a new path will be built perpendicular to this path. the pats will intersect at the point -2, -3. identify the equation that represents the new path.

here the equation of path is -2x-7=y

let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b

so slope m=-2

now new path is perpendicular to this path.

product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1

so slope of new path is 1/2

now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2

using y=mx+b to get value of b

-3=1/2(-2) +b

b=-2

plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as

y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
