Y = 3x - 4.....the slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the slope and change the sign. So we will need a slope of -1/3...see how I flipped the slope of 3/1 and made it 1/3...and then changed the sign, making it -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/3(2) + b
1 = -2/3 + b
1 + 2/3 = b
3/3 + 2/3 = b
5/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 5/3

In an arithmetic-sudoku, the values 1,2,3,4 appear exactly once in each row and each column. Which value belongs in the grey squ
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Value 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of rows and columns of the Sudoku is not stated; so, I will assume it is 5 by 5, since there is only one gray square left to be occupied.

If 1 - 4 appears in each row and 1 - 4 appears in each column (take for instance, the attached Sudoku image), then the value that should be entered in the gray square is 5.

The function A(b) relates the area of a trapezoid with a given height of 10 and
Natali5045456 [20]

The function of the trapezoid area is:

A(x)=(B+b)*h/2

Where B and b are the bases and h is the height.

With the given data: h=10 B and b =7 and x (it may vary which one is bigger)

-----------

So that function becomes:

A(x)=(7+x)*10/2

A(x)=(7+x)*5

----------

So if you want the inverse function, you have to operate to find x:

A(x)/5=7+x

A(x)/5-7=x

----------

So the new function is:

x(A)=A/5-7
