What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 5x - y = -7.

Mathematics

BARSIC [14]2 years ago

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

5x-y=-7\implies 5x-y+7=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{5} x+7=y\qquad \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}

so a line perpendicular to that one above will have a slope of

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

Evaluate 1 whole number 2/5 + 3/4 and give your answer to one significant figure​
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The answer is

<h3>2 to 1 significant figure</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

1 \frac{2}{5}  +  \frac{3}{4}

To solve the question first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

That's

1 \frac{2}{5}  =  \frac{7}{5}

So we have

\frac{7}{5}  +  \frac{3}{4}

Find the LCM of the fractions

The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20

That's

\frac{7}{5}  +  \frac{3}{4}  =  \frac{7(4) + 3(5)}{20}  =  \frac{28 + 15}{20}

=  \frac{43}{20}

= 2.15

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 to 1 significant figure</h3>

Hope this helps you

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Since there are 12 months in a year, all we need to do is divide 27 pounds by 12, and we get that he lost, on average, 2.35lbs per month.
