I believe the slope of any vertical line is "undefined" because slope= rise(change in y values)/ run(change in x values).
Therefore, the slope for a horizontal line is
m= 0/(x2-x1).
However, for a vertical line the x-values are the values that are not changing. So, m= (y2-y1)/0. It is not possible to divide anything by zero. So, the slope of a vertical line is reported as m= undefined.
Any questions?
Answer:
1931.7N
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that :
An auto ( a car) weighs = 2500 pounds
It s inclined at n horizontal Ange of 10°
We are asked to find the force that would prevents it from rolling down the street.
Since the unit for Force = Newton or kgm/s²
Step 1
Convert Weight in pounds to kg
1 pound = 0.453592kg
2500 pounds =
2500 pounds × 0.453592kg
= 1133.981kg
Step 2
Find the force that would prevents it from rolling down the street.
Force = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity × sin θ
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s
Force = 1133.981kg × 9.81 × sin 10°
Force = 1931.7237321 N
Approximately = 1931.7N
81ft(yd/3ft)*111ft(yd/3ft)*2in(yd/36in)=55.5 yd^3
So 55 1/2 cubic yards of topsoil are needed.
