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

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A = l * w. We can substitute the expressions for length and width into the equation for area ... values in the formula for perimeter, we will get. P = 2l + 2w. P = 2(5)+2(3) P = 10+6 ... L = 18 cm. B = 7 cm. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth) P = 2 (L + B) ... Total time taken = Total distance walked × time taken to walk 1m.

Since it is given that AB ≅ AC, it must also be true that AB = AC. Assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one a
BartSMP [9]

Answer: The required conclusion is

"if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent".

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in triangle ABC,  AB ≅ AC, implies that AB = AC must be true. We are given to assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one angle is greater than the other.

If m∠B > m∠C, then AC > AB because of the triangle parts relationship theorem.

For the same reason, if m∠B < m∠C, then AC < AB.

This is a contradiction to the given information.

We are to state the conclusion.

Since in the beginning, it is given that AB ≅ AC and we have assumed that ∠B and ∠C are not congruent, so

our assumption must be wrong.

That is, ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.

Thus, the required conclusion is

if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.
