The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5 will be -1/8.

<h3>What is the slope of perpendicular lines?</h3>

Suppose that first straight line has slope 's'

Let another straight line be perpendicular to this first line.

Let its slope be 'a'

Then due to them being perpendicular, they have their slopes' multiplication as -1

or

s x a = -1

s = -1/ a

Slope of line y = 8x + 5

s = 8

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5

8 x a = -1

a = -1/8

Thus, the slope is -1/8.

Use the coordinate plane to help you identify the length of each leg then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of CD
Nitella [24]

Answer:

CE= 9cm, DE= 5cm, CD= 10.2956cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the point of the other triangle.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

CD= square root symbol (CE^2 + DE^2)

= square root symbol (9^2+5^2)

= 10.2956cm (6 sf)

Carl ran around the track 3 more times than Daria and 2 fewer times than Erin. When they were done they added up the number of l
Paul [167]

Answer:

Total laps = 10d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Carl's laps

d = Daria's laps

e = Erin's laps

c = 3d

c = e/2

c + d + e = totals laps

We can insert 3d in place of c in the third equation

3d + d + e = total laps

Also, e/2 equals 3d

e/2 = 3d

Multiply both sides by 2

(e/2 = 3d)2

e = 6d

Insert the new e

3d + d + 6d = 10d = totals laps
