Solve both equations for y in terms of x:

y = (-2)x+5

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

Multiply the slopes together:

(-2) X (-1/2) = 1

In order for the lines to be perpendicular, the product of the slopes would have had to equal -1, but it equals 1, so they're not perpendicular.

What is the answer to x2 plus 52x plus 100?

If by "what is the answer to" you mean "how do you factor", then the answer is as follows: x2 + 52x + 100 = x2 + 50x + 2x + 100 = x(x + 50) + 2(x + 50) = (x + 2)(x + 50)

What is the value for x in the following systems of equations x-y equals 5 2x plus y equals 7?

x - y = 52x + y = 7 (use the substitution method)y = x - 52x + y = 7 (substitute x - 5 for y into the second equation)2x + y = 72x + x - 5 = 73x = 12x = 4Thus x = 4 satisfies both the equations of the system.
