Answer:

- 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope, m  , is the sama as 'gradient'....

 if slope of one line is m, the perpindicular is -1/m

2      then perpindicular = - 1/2

\Large\texttt{Answer\::}

-1/2

\Large\texttt{Calculations\::}

If lines are perpendicular to each other , their gradients are opposite reciprocals of each other .

In order to find the opposite reciprocal of a number , we should change it's sign and turn it over as follows :

2 --> -2 --> -\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}

So the gradient of the line perpendicular to the line with a gradient of 2 is -1/2.

I’m not sure how to slove this problem it’s a equilateral triangle and I’m trying to find out what the side is equal to.
Tamiku [17]

Answer as a fraction: AB = 127/13 (exact)

Answer in decimal form: AB = 9.76923 (approximate)

Sides AC and BC are the same length as AB.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

AB = (3/2)x+4

AC = (1/5)x+9

These sides are equal to each other since all sides of an equilateral triangle are the same length.

AB = AC

(3/2)x+4 = (1/5)x+9

10*[ (3/2)x+4 ] = 10*[ (1/5)x+9 ] ... see note below

10*(3/2)x + 10*4 = 10*(1/5)x + 10*9

15x + 40 = 2x + 90

15x-2x = 90-40

13x = 50

x = 50/13

Note: I multiplied both sides by the LCD (lowest common denominator) 10 to clear out the fractions.

------------

Once we know what x is, we plug it into the expression for AB

AB = (3/2)x+4

AB = (3/2)*(50/13) + 4

AB = (3*50)/(2*13) + 4

AB = (3*2*25)/(2*13) + 4

AB = (3*25)/(13) + 4

AB = 75/13 + 4

AB = 75/13 + 52/13

AB = (75+52)/13

AB = 127/13 which is exact

AB = 9.76923 which is approximate

Because we have an equilateral triangle, AB = BC = AC.

Tashia paid two months rent and a $500 security deposit when she signed her lease. In total, she paid $2,400.
fiasKO [112]

The equation that represents the scenario is  2x + 500 = 2400

The cost of one month rent is $950

She paid two months rent and a $500 security deposit when she signed for a lease. In total she paid $2400.

let

the cost of a month rent = x

Therefore,

<h3>Total cost Equation</h3>
  • 2x + 500 = 2400

The cost of the one month rent can be calculated as follows:

  • 2x + 500 = 2400
  • 2x = 2400 - 500
  • 2x = 1900
  • x = 1900 / 2
  • x = $950

Therefore, the equation that represent the scenario and cost of one month rent are as follows;

  • 2x + 500 = 2400
  • cost of one month rent = $950

Kaitlyn saves $6 each week. After correctly carrying out the Solve step of the five-step problem-solving plan, which solution sh
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1. 10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, we want to find the number of weeks (w) that Kaitlyn must save $6 in order to have a total of $60.

... $6 × w = $60

Divide by $6 to get ...

... w = $60/$6 = 10

Kaitlyn must save for 10 weeks (if she starts with a balance of 0).

_____

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

The problem reads like we came in somewhere in the middle of it. We don't know what other steps you've been asked to perform, or any of the details of the problem you're asked to solve. We don't have Kaitllyn's initial balance, for example, which is essential to determining how long she must save. (If Kaitlyn's initial balance is $33, for example, she must only save for 4.5 weeks.)
