It's B

Slope is negative, the other must be positive due to m1 x m2 = - 1

m1 = -2/5

The diagram shows a gradient of -2/5. So, the

reciprocal of this valve to make - 1 is 5/2 (which is the - 2/5 flipped upside down, but positive)

-2/5 x 5/2 = - 10/10 (or - 1)

Thus, the perpendicular line to this has a gradient of 5/2.

Hope this helps!

Which expression has the greatest value |-21|, |14|, |30|, |-45|

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

|-45|

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the absolute value of a real number is the numeric value of the number, regardless the sign, either this is positive or negative.

The absolute value function can be definied as:

|a|=a si a ≥0
|a|=-a si a <0

Using this definition, we have:

|-21| = -(-21) = 21

|14| = 14

|30| = 30

|-45| = -(-45) = 45

Therefore, the expression |-45| has the greatest value.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in

Harman [31]

The equation you use for the slope of this kind of problem is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). x1 is the first X coordinate, x2 is the second, y1 is the first y coordinate, y2 is the second.

(5-3)/(2-2)
2/0
This equation has an UNDEFINED SLOPE, as it is just a vertical line.
