What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is ax by=c?

Answer:

b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite sign and reciprocals (flipped over).

In the equation

ax + by = c,

the slope of the line is

-a/b

If you haven't memorized this pattern yet, you can calculate it by solving ax+by=c for y.

by = -ax +c

y = -a/b x + c/b

The slope is -a/b

So a perpendicular line would be opposite sign and flipped, b/a

Angle of 74° with the ground if the foot of the latter 6.5 feet from the wall, how high on the wall is the ladder?
Pie
Tanα=h/x

h=xtanα, we are told that x=6.5ft and α=74° so

h=6.5tan74 ft

h≈22.67 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

What is the square root of 67
Inessa [10]

Every positive number has two square roots.

The square roots of  67  are  8.185... (rounded) and  -8.185... (rounded) .

Both are irrational numbers, so they can't be completely written down
with digits.  No matter how many decimal places I write, it can never be
enough, because these decimals go on forever and never end.
