If AD is the altitude of BC, what is the slope of AD?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
koban [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of BC :

⇒ m (BC) = -1 - 5 / -3 - 5

⇒ m (BC) = -6/-8

⇒ m (BC) = <u>3/4</u>

Now, since AD is the altitude of BC, we can say the altitude is perpendicular to BC.

Hence, the slope of a perpendicular line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.

⇒ m (AD) = - (1/m(BC))

⇒ m (AD) = - (1/(3/4))

⇒ m (AD) = -4/3

Zack watered his garden with 1 3/8
victus00 [196]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the pattern Zack is using to water his garden, this way:

First week =  1 3/8  gallons of water

Second week = 1 3/4 gallons of water = 1 3/8 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4

Third week = 2 1/8 gallons of water = 1 3/4 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 + 3/8 = 2 1/8

The constant of adding every week is 3/8 gallons, therefore,

Fourth week = 2 1/8 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2 gallons of water

Fifth week = 2 1/2 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 + 3/8 = 2 7/8 gallons of water

<u>The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.</u>

How do you draw a skew line?
Bas_tet [7]
In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron. Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions. Two lines are skew if and only if they are not coplanar. Hope this helps!! :)
