The product of the slope of the line RT and WS is equal to -1 if the line WS is parallel to line KV. Line RT is perpendicular to line KV.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have line WS is parallel to line KV. Line RT is perpendicular to line KV.

Let's suppose the slope for the line WS is m1, for the slope for the line KV is m2, and for the line RT is m3.

We know if the two lines are parallel, their slope will be the same mathematically,

m1 = m2

And if the two lines are perpendicular to each other, their product of the slope will be -1

Because the slope is given by:

\rm tan\theta = \dfrac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1m_2}

If parallel, then tanθ = 0

\rm m_1 -m_2= 0\\m_1 =m_2

If perpendicular, then \rm tan\theta = \dfrac{1}{0}

\rm 1+m_1m_2 = 0\\m_1m_2 = -1

Thus, the product of the slope of the line RT and WS is equal to -1 if the line WS is parallel to line KV. Line RT is perpendicular to line KV.

Given the graph y = f(x), explain and contrast the effect of the constant c on the graphs y = f(cx) and y = cf(x).
Igoryamba
Given the graph y = f(x)

The graph y = f(cx), where c is a constant is refered to as horizontal stretch/compression

A horizontal stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the y-axis. A horizontal compression is the squeezing of the graph towards the y-axis.  A compression is a stretch by a factor less than 1.

If | c | < 1 (a fraction between 0 and 1), then the graph is stretched horizontally by a factor of c units.
If | c | > 1, then the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of c units.

For values of c that are negative, then the horizontal compression or horizontal stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the y-axis.


The graph y = cf(x), where c is a constant is referred to as a vertical stretching/compression.

A vertical streching is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis. A vertical compression is the squeezing of the graph towards the x-axis. A compression is a stretch by a factor less than 1.

If | c | < 1 (a fraction between 0 and 1), then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of c units.
If | c | > 1, then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of c units.

For values of c that are negative, then the vertical compression or vertical stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.

Can you help me with explanation will give brainiest
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Area of rectangular garden = lxb = 10*5

                                             = 50 sq. inch

when area increases by six times

new area = 50*6 = 300 sq inches

now,

let x be increasement in both  length and width

(5+x) (10+x) = 300

50 + 5x + 10x + x² = 300

x² + 15x - 250 = 0

x²+ 25x-10x -250 = 0

x(x+25) - 10 (x+25) = 0

( x-10) (x+25) = 0

either x + 25 =0

x = -25 length can be negative

0r x-10 = 0

x = 10

so 10 inches is increase on both side
