Rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.

<h3>Ratios and proportions</h3>

A ratio means a comparison of two different quantities while proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Rectangle A:

  • Length= 10 cm
  • Width = 4 cm

Ratio of length to width = 10 : 4

= 10/4

= 5/2

= 5 : 2

Rectangle B:

  • Length = 5 cm
  • Width = 8 cm

Ratio of length to width = 5 : 8

Therefore, rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line
NeTakaya

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

y - 4 = (x - 6)

y - 4 = x - 6

y = x - 6 + 4

y = x - 2 (y = mx + C)

Slope m = 1

It is said that the line is perpendicular to a point ( -2, -2)

If two lines are perpendicular, their slope will be negative reciprocal

The negative reciprocal of slope = 1 is -1

Using a slope intercept form as requested by the question

y = mx + C

Inserting the values given

(-2, -2)

We are using point slope form

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

x_1 = -2

y_1 = -2

m = -1

Insert the values

y - ( -2)) = -1( x - (-2))

y + 2 = -1 ( x + 2)---- point slope form

But we are requested to give the answer in slope intercept form

y = mx + C

We have to open the bracket

y + 2 = -1(x + 2)

y + 2 = -x - 2

y = -x - 2 - 2

y = -x - 4 ( slope - intercept form)

What is the value of x?   Enter your answer in the box. x = [ ]​
zhenek [66]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Since both angles are vertical angles, we need to set them equal to each other.

2(x + 10) = 3x - 30\\\\2x + 20 = 3x - 30\\\\5x + 20 = 30\\\\5x = 50\\\\x = 10

The final answer is <em>x = 10</em>.

(4÷y+2) +(2÷y-3) =(6÷y+6)
Evgesh-ka [11]
<span>Simplifying 4(y + -3) = 6(y + 2) Reorder the terms: 4(-3 + y) = 6(y + 2) (-3 * 4 + y * 4) = 6(y + 2) (-12 + 4y) = 6(y + 2) Reorder the terms: -12 + 4y = 6(2 + y) -12 + 4y = (2 * 6 + y * 6) -12 + 4y = (12 + 6y) Solving -12 + 4y = 12 + 6y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6y' to each side of the equation. -12 + 4y + -6y = 12 + 6y + -6y Combine like terms: 4y + -6y = -2y -12 + -2y = 12 + 6y + -6y Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0 -12 + -2y = 12 + 0 -12 + -2y = 12 Add '12' to each side of the equation. -12 + 12 + -2y = 12 + 12 Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0 0 + -2y = 12 + 12 -2y = 12 + 12 Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24 -2y = 24 Divide each side by '-2'. y = -12 Simplifying y = -12</span>
