Answer:

m = - 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When two line is perpendicular to each other the product of them is - 1

So let the other line be B

Gradient of B = t

Gradient of A = 4

$t \times 4 = - 1 \\ t = - \frac{1}{4}$

therefore m = - 1/4

Given the below sequence:

kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) The next three terms are -1,-3,-5,-7,-9,-11,-13

b) This is arithmetic sequence

C) The difference of second term and first term is -2 in given sequence so the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

d) The 27 th term is -53

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

the difference of second term and first term is -2

given sequence is -1,-3,-5,-7.....

the nth term in arithmetic sequence

$t_{n} = a+(n-1)d$

First term is a = -1 and difference is d = -2

finding fifth term is

$t_{5} = -1 +(5-1)(-2)$

$t_{5} = -1-8 =-9$

finding sixth term is

$t_{6} = -1 +(6-1)(-2)$

$t_{6} = -1-10 =-11$

finding seventh term is

$t_{7} = -1 + (7-1)(-2)$

$t_{7} = -1 -12 =-13$

The next three terms are -9,-11,-13

The given sequence is -1,-3,-5,-7,-9,-11,-13

b) This is arithmetic sequence.

C) because the difference of second term and first term is -2 so the given sequence is arithmetic sequence.

d) by using nth term formula in arithmetic sequence

$t_{n} = a+(n-1)d$

a= -1 and d =-2

find 27 t h term :-

$t_{27} = -1 + (27-1)(-2) = -1-52=-53$

Could some please help and explain?

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a parallelogram where all sides are equal. Therefore, as we know two sides are equal to 7x+8 and 9x-6, we can say that

7x+8 = 9x - 6

subtract 7x from both sides to put the variable on one side

2x - 6 = 8

add 6 to both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

2x = 14

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 7

Plssss help mee

The relationship is linear.

The reason why is because each time x increases by 1, the value of y increases by 3. In other words, the slope is 3 and it is constant no matter what two points you pick
x = input
y = output

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

Extra Info:
slope = rise/run
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = 3/1
slope = 3
The y intercept is (0,6). Think backwards in terms of the pattern going on.
Or you can plug m = 3 and (x,y) = (1,9) into y = mx+b and solve for b to get b = 6

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?

lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction. When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time. You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
