What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation x+y=3. Fully simplify your answer

Mathematics

Tasya [4]2 years ago

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

x + y =3\implies y=-x+3\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-1}x+3 \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{-1\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{-1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{-1}\implies 1}}

Factor x^2+6x-16 into the form (x+a)(x-b), what is a and b?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a=-8 b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-16

x^2+(8-2)x-16=0

x^2+8x-2x-16=0

X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0

(X+8)(x-2)=0

Compare with (X+a)(X+b)

Where we get a=-8 b=2

A health psychologist knew that corporate executives in general have an average score of 2.55 with a standard deviation of 0.5 o
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population mean (μ) = 2.55

Population standard deviation (σ) = 0.5

Sample size (n) = 30

Sample mean (x) = 2.76

α = 0.05

STEP 1:

Stress score in general executive (s1)

Stress score in exercising executive (s2)

Null : s1 = s2

Alternative : s1 < s2

STEP 2:

Shape of distribution = normal

Population mean (μ) = 2.55

Population standard deviation (σ) = 0.5

Sample size (n) = 30

Sample mean (x) = 2.76

α = 0.05

Decision rule :

α = 0.05 which corresponds to a t score (t0) ;

df = n - 1 = 30 - 1= 30 at 0.05 = 1.699

If :

(Test statistic (t) > t0) ; reject the Null

(right tailed test)

Test statistic (t) :

(x - μ) / (σ/√n)

(2.76 - 2.55) / (0.5/√30)

0.21 / 0.0913

= 2.30

t > t0

2.30 > 1.699

t is more extreme than t0

Hence, reject the null at α = 0.05

The width of a rectangle is 7 less than the length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 43.6 inches, what is the area of the re
Lera25 [3.4K]

Call the length a, the width b

Perimeter = (a+b) x 2

And since we have (a+b) x 2 = 43.6, a + b = 43.6 : 2 = 21.8

a + b = 21.8
a - b = 7

-> a + b + (a - b) = 28.8
2a = 28.8
a = 14.4
b = 7.4

So, the area of the rectangle is 14.4 x 7.4 = 106.56
