The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.
The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.
Answer:
0 (1,2,3,4,5,)and (0,1,2,3,4,5,)
I believe it is -7 but I may be misunderstanding the question
The ~ symbol means that the 2 shapes are similar, meaning the same shape but not the same size.
To determine the measure of side length EF, you must find the relationship between the 2 side lengths.
You should set these up as ratios of the length to the width. So, for ABCD, it is 30/45. Make this equal to x/75. If you simplify the first ratio to 2:3, you can then multiply by both numerator and denominator by 25 to get x = 25 in/ 75 in.
Another way is to use cross products with you proportion. 75 x 30 = 45x. Solve for x to get 50 inches.
